I started my cheer career as a young girl in the recreational division. I continued my cheer career by taking many classes, such as tumbling, stunting, open gyms (to work with other athletes around the county), and then cheering all through grade school. During this time, I competed for Nation Cheerleader of the Year, as well as multiple competitions with my school team, which lead me to a National Title. After grade school, I went on to cheer with East Carolina University Club Cheer, where I competed at NCA Nationals in Daytona, FL. After college, I took a job as a 6th grade math teacher and one of the cheerleading coaches at the middle school. As a coach, we not only had our team cheer at the middle school games, but were able to also take them to competitions, where we took the State Title.
