“Cheerleading is the most challenging sport I have ever been involved in and for that reason, I love it so much. Cheerleading pushes a person in a way they’ve never expected, yet it is so much fun. The bond you have with your teammates is so special. The feeling of succeeding in a competition is incredible. I love everything about it.”

Outside of cheerleading, She dances at Danceworks throughout the week. She is a gymnastics coach and also a babysitter. She plans on helping coach Junior Panthers cheerleading this coming year.

“Through cheerleading, I have learned how to be confident, hardworking, and dedicated. Also to be fifteen minutes early because if you are on time, you are late.”

She is undecided if she will cheer in college and she will study Elementary Education.

She was inducted into the National Honors Society during her junior year. She was Student of the Month in January and February, along with multiple Focus Students of the Week awards. She has also made honor roll all four years.

She is also involved in powerlifting coached by Ryan Lott. She played varsity soccer for two years and ran track her junior year as well.
