Bio
Major/Minor: Healthcare Administration with a minor in Communications
Post-Graduation Goals: I would love to go into medical sales, while being involved with a hospital overlooking any sector that is available. I want to travel, be happy and have a family.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because it is a smaller school that allows for the class sizes to be more interactive with both the students and professors. GCU is also has a well-known for their medical programs allowing me to receive a great education. The cheer team has also made an impact on me choosing this school because they were so welcoming and treats everyone like family.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? When I am not cheering, you can find me hanging out with my family or friends, working, or doing school work.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential person in my life is my mother. She is such a role model in my life and always push’s me to reach my goals. Through the ups and downs in my life she has been there for all of it and overall helps me make decisions in my life.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My best piece of advice would be to always be yourself throughout the whole process, because staying true to yourself is the most important part. Being someone that you’re not is more difficult and can always looked through.
Fun Fact: I used to compete in power tumbling for 7 years and I was able compete in both the Junior Olympics and Nationals.
Favorite Bible Verse or Quote: “Because the strongest people aren’t the ones who always win, but the ones who never give up when they lose”
