Women Fitness has selected the most stunning and fit Cheerleaders of Super Bowl XLVII from the Teams Baltimore Ravens and 49ers Gold Rush. This is no way undermines other super beautiful cheerleaders and their teams. A difficult task accomplished.
Name: Joanna T.
Tenure: Two Years
Day Job: Environmental Scientist
Joanna is a graduate of Marshall University who hopes to land a management position in her late 20s and then leave it shortly thereafter to become a stay-at-home mother.
Surely, the higher-ups at whatever company she works for will be thrilled about that when the time comes.
I’m not judging anyone’s life choices, but what’s the point in striving for a management position that you have no intention of keeping? I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.

Tenure: Three Years
Day Job: PhD Candidate and Researcher
Christine is a student of science-related things that most of us couldn’t even begin to understand, so I’ll spare you the details. Unfortunately, that leaves us short on details. Her “fun fact” is that she is both blonde and Hispanic and has second cousins in Mexico.
Scientists have a different idea of “fun,” apparently.
Her Bio:
- Occupation: PhD Candidate & Researcher
- Tenure: 3
- Education: I graduated with Bachelors and Masters degrees in Biomedical Engineering. Currently, I am studying for my doctorate (PhD) in Bioengineering with a minor through the MBA program in Management of Technology.
- Career Goal: I am torn between two goals. The first is to start a medical imaging company centered on cancer diagnostics. The second is to lead a lab in academia, which would focus on the two of the great challenges in cancer treatment, early diagnosis and early assessment of response to therapy.
- Biggest thrill: My biggest thrill this past year would be the closing moments of the 49ers versus Saints game during the second to last playoff game. Alex Smith threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with 9 seconds left on the clock sending us to a home NFC championship game. I had every emotion, fear, excitement, sadness, and joy, all within that last 60 seconds. I had goose bumps as the crowd was going wild. The fans were like a red sea, and I was one the field, right there in the middle of all of it. That was pretty amazing.
- Fun fact: Even though I am blonde, I am Hispanic. My grandpa moved here from Mexico before my uncles were born. I have several second cousins in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Something worth fighting for: Your dreams, what you believe in, family, true love, and happiness.
