Michelle Garcia

Michelle is an avid Jets fan who rallies everyone around her to support the Green & White. Her Latina flair has "spiced up" the enjoyment of the game for her family and friends who she brings together for gameday celebrations and her famous homemade empanadas are a highlight of any tailgate she attends. In lieu of a party for her 40th birthday this year, she bought tickets for her entire family to attend the Jets preseason game so she could celebrate with her favorite team.

After moving to the U.S., she worked at a high school helping to teach English and the J-E-T-S chant as a tool for spelling and pronunciation. She also taught about football as a means of introducing her students to American culture.  Her love of the game and the New York Jets have made an indelible impact on her community of students, their families and beyond.
