Hey Cowboys Nation!鈥
I am extremely grateful to be a part of this amazing team and can't wait to help you all cheer on the best team in the NFL alongside some of the best teammates I could ask for!
I'm from Dallas, TX born and raised, so I've always been a Cowboys fan! I graduated from Texas Tech University with a bachelor's in psychology, then completed my masters degree in sport psychology from the University of North Texas! I plan to obtain my mental performance consulting certification in the near future, and work with athletic teams to help athletes and teams be their best in the mental performance aspect!鈥
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of history, especially amongst a community that has so much love and passion for dance! I'm so excited to grow in this space and learn things that I couldn't have learned anywhere else! I'm endlessly grateful for my family and friends that have supported me throughout this process, and I'm so excited for you all to see what we've been working on for y'all! Let's have an amazing season! #WeDemBoys
Best,

Number of years on the team: This is my first year on the team!!
Prior Dance/Entertainment Industry Experience: When I was an undergrad at Texas Tech University, I was in the dance department studying movement quality, technique, and style. As a graduate, I attended the University of North Texas, where I danced for the school under the North Texas Dancers! While dancing primarily in a gameday style, we competed at NDA in Daytona, FL for nationals each year! Before and during these moments, I've been a backup dancer, performed in multiple Cowboys halftimes, and performed in self-choreographed pieces!
Nicknames: My most popular nicknames are J and JJ!
Hometown: I was born and raised in Dallas, TX!
I dance because: I dance because it's my passion! Being able to escape to a place that is filled with so much love and creativity truthfully allows me to be me! It's one of the oldest art forms to exist, with amazing new things to learn every time you're in a space.鈥
What I like to do most besides dance is: I like to read, listen to music, try new foods, and stay active the most! If I didn't dance, these things would take up my life!
I've always wanted to: I've always wanted to become an actress or travel the world! It seems so fun to play a character and grow with them as the series or movie continues!鈥
Advice to Youngsters: Never give up on yourself and try super hard to keep doing what you love!
My biggest role model is: Besides my family, my biggest role model is Zendaya! I feel like she carries herself with such grace, yet she's also a great time to be around! I also admire her generosity and her attention to detail.
What I enjoy most about being a DCRB Dancer is: What I enjoy most about being a DCRB dancer is the fact that I'm consistently surrounded by people who love dance and choose to be in this space! It allows us to strive for our personal best and translate that to the fans and each other!!
Favorite Cowboys player past or present: Hmm it's so hard to pick my favorite player, but I would have to go with Bob Hayes aka Bullet Bob!
Favorite Performer: My favorite performer would have to be either Beyonc茅, Tate McRae, or Charlize Glass!
Favorite Music: I love almost every type of music so this is hard, but I would say currently I've been into pop, R&B, indie Rock, alternative, and reggae!
Favorite Quotes: One of my favorite quotes is: "There is nothing stronger than a soft soul." - JH Hard
The three guests I would invite to my fantasy dinner party are (dead or alive): Michael Jackson, Zendaya, and Beyonc茅! Honorable mention: Barack Obama!
