Bio
Major/Minor: Business Management with a minor in Communications
Post-Graduation Goals: I want to be successful in my future career and eventually start a family.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because it was a place that felt like home. I love the atmosphere and how everyone is so passionate and excited about what we do here. Being able to live out my Christian walk here as well is the best part.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? You can find me doing homework, hanging out with friends, or jamming out to music.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential people in my life are my parents. They love the Lord so much and it is truly the biggest inspiration. They are the most encouraging, loving and supportive people in my life and I would not be where I am without them.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My best advice would be to love what you do, work hard and stay positive. It is easy to get down on yourself, but takes perseverance and dedication to achieve what you really want.
Fun Fact: I can say the alphabet backwards.
Favorite Bible Verse: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4
