This week, we take a look at one of the co-captains on the Jills this year. This is Danielle's 1st year in the position, helping run the Ambassador Squad, and has taken the job and really run with it. She didn't wait long to put her mark on the rookies as while half the squad was on the swimsuit calendar shoot trip this past May, Danielle and fellow 3rd year vet Valerie took the opportunity to organize a "girl's night out" with some of the rookie squad members who didn't make the calendar trip. She didn't stop with just the one though as this orthodontist's assistant regularly organizes get-togethers for nights out as well as away game watching parties with not only rookies but vets as well, helping build camaraderie within the squad.

This week, we take a look at one of the outstanding dancers on the squad as our Jill of The Week. Amelina is one of the rookies on Jamie's line and can be seen on gamedays between Valerie and Eileen. Amelina is the shortest member of the Jills squad at 4'11" when it comes to height but if you were to measure her dance ability and enthusiasm, she'd work out to be one of the tallest. Her enthusiasm is something that's strong in many ways. If there's music playing at a club that she can dance to, she'll be out on the dance floor having a blast. If there's new people to meet, she's front and center to meet them and if there's photos being taken without her in them, she's anxious for you to take the pic again....with her in it this time...lol! She loves to make people smile and is one of the friendliest young ladies you could ever meet. While this may only be her rookie year on the squad, she can boast that she was the first of the current Jills squad to perform at the Pro Bowl, even before Omarlla in 2003. Amelina wasn't selected as a member of a squad as she wasn't a member of a pro squad at the time...too young, for one thing...she was instead selected at a National Dance Competition to perform at halftime of the 2000 Pro Bowl!

This week, we take a look at one of the rookie members of the Jills Ambassador Squad as our Jill of The Week. Liz is one of those girls whose dancing ability was not a detriment to joining the Ambassador Squad as opposed to the dance squad. Many Jills Ambassadors simply don't have as much time to commit to practice as the dancers. Ambassadors typically meet once every other week while the dancers are practicing twice a week, every week. Liz has been dancing since grade school and keeps active in the winter with snowboarding as well. Since she wants to learn to surf one day, snowboarding is a great start although she obviously wouldn't be as bundled up on a surfboard, something beach-goers those days would certainly appreciate. Too bad for them that this statuesque brunette is attached. Beyond that, Liz is aiming to become another doctor with a Jills pedigree like current Dr Amanda K and future Dr Holly. Unlike her squadmates, however, Liz is planning on dealing with the mental and emotional aspects and become a licensed clinical psychologist.

Jessica!! This bubbly blonde is in her second year on the squad and is always on the go. It looks like she'll have to take a little down time as she'll be spending the week following the Super Bowl in Hawaii for the annual Pro Bowl game. While the game itself may not be a reason to tune in, it's kinda fun watching for the first of last year's rookies to make her presence known. The game can be seen on Sunday, February 8th on NBC. Beyond the Pro Bowl itself, Jessica will be on hand at many activities throughout the week leading up to the game so keep an eye out for various events that will be televised on ESPN, NBC, and the NFL Network. 
This week, we take a look at one of our rookie dancers as our Jill of The Week. Outgoing Holly can be found on gamedays on Nicole's line between Kristin B and Ayeshia and even when she's not in uniform, she's usually dancing. Anyone who knows her knows that she's pretty much the life of every party and loves to make people laugh. Beyond that, she's fiercely loyal to her friends and sticks by them through thick and thin. In fact, when asked about Holly's best qualities, close friend and former squadmate Dana said that her best qualities are that she is caring, friendly, outgoing, and always ready to help out a friend. She has a huge heart which may be part of why she made the career choice she did. She currently is an X-ray tech and is working towards a career as a heart surgeon! We already have one doctor on the squad in veterinarian Dr. Amanda and in a few years, assuming she sticks around on the squad (hopefully), we'll have Dr. Holly as well! But cutting people open isn't her only focus. Prior to joining the Jills, she cheered all throughout her school years and even won 5 National titles in 9 years as part of an all-star cheerleading squad.

On gamedays, you'll find a stunning redhead on Omarlla's line between Omarlla and Lisa dancing up a storm, something she's been doing for the last 18 years. Ashley is in her rookie season with the Jills and her outgoing and friendly nature has made her a perfect fit on the squad, like she was made for the Jills. You can almost never find Ashley without a smile and she finds a way to make the best of any situation or, in the case of Buffalo, any weather. If it's summer, she'll spend her free time in the water swimming and tanning on the beach. If it's winter, she'll spend her time on the slopes snowboarding. Also, don't let her small size fool you...she's no pushover as she's spent some time working to master the art of judo. You can read more about Ashley at http://buffalojills.net/bios/ashley.html
This week, we take a look at one of the rookie members of the Jills Ambassador Squad with the lovely Brandi. Now, long-time readers may be confused about her being a rookie because they've seen her in photos before this season. Well, there's a few reasons for that. She is one of those girls who doesn't give up. She has tried out before, something that many notable Buffalo Jills have done over the years...missed a cut one year but came back and made it on the squad. Even Jills director Stephanie M missed the cut before making the squad. Another reason we've seen her pretty smile before this season is the fact that she's had close friendships with many of the girls who have been on the squad the past few years. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for Brandi to get a completed bio submitted but beyond telling you about her history, I can tell you she's kind of a quiet girl whose time on the Ambassador Squad this season is starting to make her a more outgoing and confidant young lady.

If you could only use one word to describe Jessica, that word would have to be adorable. Jess has that great smile that just makes everyone around her smile. She has an infectious personality that puts everyone at ease and can brighten the darkest day. It's actually been rather helpful to her to have such a positive outlook on everything as she seems to be always working. It's amazing that she can fit the Jills in with college and 2 jobs but we're obviously ecstatic that she finds a way. Before her 2 years so far with the Jills, she's spent 7 years in cheerleading and 16 years in dance, including a stint with the Russian Moscow Ballet in the Nutcracker. Nowadays, she's foregone her ballet shoes and been spending her Sundays dancing on Jamie's line between Jamie and Eileen. You can read more about Jessica at
This week, we take a look at one of our rookie dancers from Nicole's line. On gamedays, you can find Kristina between 2nd year vets Katie C and Jill D. One of the big things the Jills are involved in every year is the Jr Jills program, working with young cheerleaders and showing them the ropes, guiding them along. It's almost like a Big Sisters program over the summer in many ways. Kristina found the program a natural fit as she guides her own little sister along already. Maybe one of these days we'll see them cheering alongside one another on the sidelines at the Ralph one of these days. But beyond that, she says the best advice she ever received was to try and become everything you want to be because you only live once. Well, she tried, and succeeded, becoming an NFL cheerleader, something that so few women ever get to do. She's also not willing to settle for a bachelor's degree...she's going for her master's in marketing. You can read more about Kristina at http://buffalojills.net/bios/kristina.html

This week, we take a look at one of the rookie members of the Jills Ambassador Squad as our Jill of The Week. Alison is a future pharmacist who is a self-confessed shop-a-holic. She loves Buffalo for the outstanding food but hates having to scrape ice off her car to go get it as much as she does. It'd be summer 365 days a year if she had her way. Beyond that, she's an eternal optimist and a big reason for that is her parents, both cancer survivors, taught her how to keep her head up no matter what.
