Great job! :cheer:
How tall is Francesca?
She looks short compared to Jessie but tall when it comes to the bodybuilding pics.

Was totally not expecting her to be a bodybuilder. Though she was a dancer...

She's 5'2".

I am loving the all the females of the season. Really amazing jobs & backgrounds :colors . Last one was a surprise, didn't expect her to be a bodybuilder. I think she has Italian roots by sound of her name.

She's one of the older ones this season, then. Graduating from high school in 1996 would make her around 38.

Additional Info on our Team 3 Female: Brooke Camhi. Thanks to gamerfan09 and ovalorange for the amazing find  :conf:

Brooke Camhi - Attorney/ Lawyer from New York City, New York

Currently she's Director of Business Development at US Legal Support/ Attorney at Camhi & Min LLC


Quote
  Ms. Camhi is an attorney admitted to both the New York and New Jersey Bars.  She is a graduate of Syracuse University where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.  She then attended St. John's University School of Law where she received her Juris Doctorate in 2005.  While at St. John's, Ms. Camhi focused her studies on civil and criminal litigation, and concentrated on subjects concerning criminal law and criminal procedure. For two years following her graduation from law school, Ms. Camhi was an Assistant District Attorney for Nassau County.  In addition, she conducted hundreds of evidentiary hearings and argued many pretrial motions. After leaving the District Attorney’s Office Ms. Camhi worked for a large Manhattan based international law firm, where she handled the defense of medical malpractice cases.  Ms. Camhi specializes in handling all matters related to criminal defense as well as family law and insurance defense work.

Funny story. I'm watching the Game Show Network and Brooke is on an episode of Hollywood Game Night and is wearing this exact green dress.
