Buffalo Jill of The Week Maria

This week, we look at rookie dancer Maria as our Buffalo Jill of The Week. Dancing on one end of Valerie's line between Jacki and Kristina, this college grad is already a home-owner, like fellow rookie Chelsea. Also like Chelsea, she's proof that perseverance can pay off after not making it in her 1st try. Thankfully, she gave it a go again this year and made the squad, allowing the fans to see her fantastic dance abilities and incredible and friendly smile. In her bio, she mentions shopping as a hobby and in her intro, it's a sport. Either way, one would have to imagine she has a good-sized house with huge closets  if she thinks of shopping that much. With aspirations of her own cooking show in addition to her business degree and a talent for interior decorating, it's hard to imagine her having issues paying her bills...unless she's THAT extreme a shopper, of course...lol.

While coming out after the half, Jacki and Maria slowed up and smiled for the camera.
