Melissa George,
Board Member
Melissa George was born on October 16, 1979 and
raised in Fleming Island, FL. She started dancing
at the young age of three and pursued her talent
for 11 years at a studio, competing and performing
with their competition team. She then stared cheerleading
with her Jr. High School and High School where she
served as the team’s captain. In Melissa’s
first year of college at University of North Florida,
she was a cheerleader for the Ospreys until her
spring semester when she first auditioned for the
Jacksonville Jaguars Roar in 1999. She continued
cheering for the Jaguars until after the Super Bowl
was held in Jacksonville on February 5, 2005. |

During her six seasons,
Melissa served as captain from 2002-2004. Not only
did she enjoy performing at home games, but also
greatly enjoyed traveling the world representing
the Roar. Destinations include Mexico, Jamaica,
Bahamas, and several locations throughout the United
States. Her fondest memories are from the Armed
Forces Entertainment military tours that took her
all across Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Greenland.
Aside from the Roar, Melissa graduated from college
in 2002 with her Bachelor’s degree in Business
Administration and has since been employed by Allstate
Insurance as an Agent and Major Accounts Representative.
She has also been contracted several times as a
Sports and Entertainment Consultant where she has
helped put on events such as the Snooper Bowl, Oscar
De La Hoya Boxing Match, the Ernest Wilford Golf
Classic, and several concerts including big names
like Snoop Dogg, Gladys Knight, and Chaka Khan.
Since she stopped cheering, Melissa has been represented
by Beyond the Field Marketing as a model and spokesperson
and has appeared in numerous TV and print ads. She
takes great pleasure in being an officer for the
Professional Cheerleaders Alumni, Inc. and in her
spare time, she enjoys church and family events,
sporting events, and working out. Melissa welcomed
a new addition to her family on June 2, 2008. Her
son Thomas was born in Jacksonville, FL and is her
first child.
