1. In 10 years, I'll likely be: Graduated from school, hopefully with my PhD, and doing research at a university on eating disorders, and maybe teaching some classes. And who knows, maybe coaching cheerleading.

2. Why I love Tennessee: Cheering for some of the best sports programs in the country. Cheering in front of 107,000 people at the football games, cheering for an exciting (and cute) men's basketball team and cheering for the national champion Lady Vols.

3. Movies I can't live without: Singing in the Rain. I love old '40's and '50's musicals, but really just any good love story or comedy.

4. Music I can't live without: Anything. I love all music and love to switch what I listen to everyday.

5. TV shows I can't live without: I'm not that big into TV, but I like to watch House, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and anything on Discovery or the Discovery Health.

6. One misconception about cheerleaders: That we are all dumb. In all actuality, the Univeristy of Tennessee spirit program has one of the highest cumulative GPA's of all the sports on campus. For me, nothing comes before my school work, and I have prided myself in my grades all through college and will be graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.96 in May.

7. My favorite sport is: I really enjoy watching basketball, even though I really stink at playing it.

8. My favorite teams are: I really don't get in to professional sports, but just love my Tennessee Volunteers!

9. I like to spend my weekends: Well, if I'm not busy cheering, I like to spend time with my friends going out and laughing. (I love to laugh, and have always been told I laugh easily!) I also love to have free time just to relax at home, watch a movie with my roomie or catch up on some sleep.

10. Strange and unusual fact about me: My education has taken place in a variety of states. I was born and went to school through high school in Wisconsin. Out of high school, I received a full tuition scholarship for cheerleading in Kansas at Barton County Community College. After receiving my associate's degree, I transferred to the University of Tennessee on a cheerleading scholarship where I will get my bachelors degree. I am staying at Tennessee next year for grad school to receive my master's degree.

11. My friends would be surprised to know that I: Want to have five kids. I would love to have a big family.

12. If I had more time I would: Play the piano more. I played piano for 13 years and have always been involved with music and choir. I love to sing, play the piano and write songs, but I wish I had more time to do it.

13. Favorite foods: Broccoli, mashed potatoes, cheese (duh, I'm from Wisconsin) and any kind of sweet or dessert.

14. Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead): Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Barack Obama, Ellen Degeneres and Johnny Depp.

15. Three people who annoy me: Rosie O'Donnell, Bill O'Reilly and any teen idol who thinks that ultra skinny is a fashion statement

16. Next risk I want to take: I would really like to run the Knoxville Marathon next year. Since I will be done with cheerleading, I will need something to keep me in shape and occupied!!

17. Every woman should have: Someone she can always feel like she can talk to about anything.

18. Places I want to visit and why: New Zealand. It's gorgeous, and I want to climb Mount Doom.

19. Typical day: Wake up, go pick up smoothies for work in a research study, go to work and enter food diaries, go to class, work out or go to practice, study, hang out with my friends and boyfriend, then finally go to sleep. FUN FUN!

20. Perfect guy: Tall, dark, handsome, intelligent, good sense of humor, kind, NO TEMPER and athletic ... just like my current boyfriend.
