Bio
Post-Graduation Goals: I want to get a job in marketing and have a family.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because it is a smaller school that values the same Christian values that I have grown up with. GCU also has one of the best nursing programs in Arizona and knew that I would be getting a great education. Last but not least, the GCU Cheer Team had a huge impact on me choosing GCU because the team is collegiate, competitive, and treats one another like a family member.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? You can find me at the mountain hiking or hanging out with my friends.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential person in my life is my mother. She is the strongest woman I know with the kindest heart. Whenever I am sad or mad she knows how to make the situation better and has me look at the problem in a positive way. Not only is she my mom but she is my best friend too.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My one advice to becoming a GCU Cheerleader is to practice your tumbling and always be willing to learn new material.
Fun Fact: A fun fact about me is that I played the piano for 9 years.
Favorite Bible Verse or Quote: “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5
