Bio
I originally auditioned for the Rider Cheer Team to continue dancing into my adulthood and to showcase my love for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. It’s been such an amazing opportunity to share my passion for dance and performing, while being part of something so iconic in Saskatchewan.
I keep coming back because of the strong friendships I’ve made, the empowerment from our lovely coach, the energy and excitement of game days, and the chance to connect with Rider Nation across the province. Being on this team means so much to me, and I’m so proud to wear the green and white!
So many memories and hard to pick just one but I would have to say my favourite Rider Cheer memory was when I stepped onto the field for the first time back in 2019 at the Home Opener. The energy Rider Nation gave, and continues to give, is unmatched. I also had the best time with my girls dancing alongside the Jonas Brothers at the 2024 Grey Cup Festival half time show last season! Such a surreal, and unforgettable experience.
Very grateful for all my memories with my best friends and cannot wait to make more this season!
