Any Nicknames?: Mac, Mac Daddy, Big Mac and anything else you can put with Mac.

Relationship Status: Single, but taken

Astrological Sign: Libra

Any Pets?: I have the sweetest cat, although he acts like a dog, named Koli. I rescued him in Hawaii and brought him all the way back to Georgia!

Dance & Cheer Experience: I’m pretty sure I’ve been cheering since I could walk! I started in gymnastics, jazz, tap and ballet when I was introduced to and fell in love with the "cheer world." I started in a recreational league and wore the huge bows in my hair and carried pom-pons that were bigger than me!! =) As I grew up, and my passion for cheerleading grew stronger, I cheered on my high school football and competition team as well as on Stingray All-Stars. With Stingrays, we won more than 50 regional and national championships and two world championship titles. I then was awarded a full scholarship to cheer on a Collegiate National Championship team at Hawaii Pacific University. We carried on the championship tradition and won two more national titles during the two years I was there.

What Makes Me Unique: What makes me unique is my oxymoronic personality. I'm spontaneous and adventurous yet I'm totally content with a lazy quiet evening at home. I'm outgoing but shy. I'm super sweet but know how to hold my ground when needed. I'm caring but feisty. I love to drive fast, but don't mind a slow leisurely cruise around town. Love the beach but get excited by the mountains. Love to eat healthy but can tear up a giant cheeseburger. I have nightmares about scary movies, but love to watch them. Good saving money but love to spend it. I’m the happiest when I’m working out, but I hate running. Love getting dressed up, but jeans and a tank top are my go-to outfit. You get the idea ;-) My life is a roller coaster, but I love every minute of it.

My dream to accomplish in life is: I never really stop dreaming. When I accomplish one thing I immediately move on to another goal. Self improvement never ends. Cheering in Hawaii and making the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders were two of my greatest accomplishments. But the dreaming continues. I would love to get my Masters in Nutritional Science; travel and see as much of our beautiful world as possible; surf; speak fluent Italian; compete in a fitness competition; buy a house, and one day have a family, just to name a few. =)

One Thing Most People Would Be Surprised to Know About Me: After spending two years on the beautiful island of Oahu, two blocks from the beach, near one of the best surf spots on the planet, I never learned how to surf! Crazy, I know.

Five Words That Describe Me: Fitness-Enthusiast, Spontaneous, Dreamer, Family-Oriented, Passionate.

Favorite Atlanta-Area Landmark/Attraction: Chastain Park

Favorite Atlanta-Area Restaurant: Fleming's Steakhouse or Thaicoon Sushi Bar. But I really love trying new restaurants so I'm open to any recommendations!

Favorite Food You Shouldn't Eat But Can't Resist: Ice cream! Mint chocolate chip, please! And pasta. The Italian side of me could eat pasta every meal, every day.

Favorite Falcons Player: Michael Turner

Favorite College Football Team: Auburn Tigers

Song That Will Always Be On My iPod: Grey Street - Dave Matthews

Song That Always Makes Me Want to Start Dancing: Pretty much anything by Lady Gaga or Britney Spears
