Bio
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because the campus had such a friendly feel and it has good medical programs. I also loved the Christian values and family feel within the cheer team.
What are your plans for post-graduation? After graduating with my bachelors, I am planning on getting a masters somewhere. I am also planning on getting a job within the healthcare industry at least part-time to build experience while working on my masters.
Piece of advice for someone wanting to be a future GCU Cheerleader? My best advice would be to not be afraid to show your true personality and to have/show confidence in your skills and material.
Fun fact about yourself:Â I used to coach gymnastics and cheer for 4 years, and before that I was also a gymnast myself for 9 years.
