Cheerleader guns for Los Angeles Lakers
Both professional basketball teams are among the most marketable sporting franchises in the US.
And though she will be up against stiff competition, the blonde beauty is confident that being an Australian - who has dual citzenship with the US - will give her an edge.
"This is at least something that will make me stand out," she said. "I'm hoping it will at least make them look at me twice."
Ms Burke, who has been a cheerleader for the Parramatta Eels and the Sydney Kings, decided she wanted to cheer for a US basketball team last year after watching a Lakers game live.
"I travelled to America last year with a girlfriend and watched a game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Lakers where the Lakers won in the last second ... I was just like 'this is what I want to do'," she said.
Ms Burke recently completed a bachelor of commerce, receiving high achievement merit awards.
