Majorette - Captain
I am junior studying interior design and architecture. I am from Oglethorpe County, where I was on the majorette line for fours years and was captain my junior and senior year. I am a former Miss Majorette of America and have helped the UGA majorette line win multiple National Championship titles. This is will be my fourth year as a redcoat and first year as captain. I look forward to the many hot Saturdays in Sanford stadium, when the redcoat band is playing the Battle Hymn of the Bulldawg Nation in front of 92,746 screaming fans!
