Bio
Post-Graduation Goals: To enroll in a local fire academy or start coaching.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because it was the best financial decision for myself at the time of searching for a school and after spending a day at GCU it just had an amazing atmosphere with genuine people all over campus. Also, GCU’s outstanding cheer program that I had been watching all throughout my high school cheer career drove me to work hard and become good enough to cheer at their collegiate level.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? I can be found training in the gym or working at the local Longhorn Steakhouse as a server.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential person in my life has got to be my Grandmother. She is the most kind hearted, caring, and loving person on this planet. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for her love and guidance.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My best advice would be to never settle. Just when you think you’ve set the highest goals for yourself, achieved something great or worked as hard as you can, go higher and work even harder than that. The outcome will only leave you wanting more.
Fun Fact: I have never seen snow.
