Bio
Major/Minor: Elementary Education with a minor in Biblical Studies
Post-Graduation Goals: I want to teach first or second grade, be a wife, and a mom!
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because the Lord made it clear that this is where I am supposed to be. The first time I walked on campus I immediately felt at home, and four years later I still feel right at home! There is no place else like Grand Canyon University. It is a great place to learn, grow, and (of course) find your purpose.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? You can find me drinking iced coffee and throwing up my Lopes anyways.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential people in my life are my parents. They are constantly encouraging others and seeking Christ in all they do. It is a joy and privilege to be their daughter and learn from their wisdom!
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My best advice would be to work hard, do your best, and trust God! He has a perfect plan for your life and he will open the right doors.
Fun Fact: When I was nine years old, I was in the Shamu show at SeaWorld.
Favorite Bible Verse or Quote: “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore, he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” Isaiah 30:18
