Bio
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because I loved the school’s atmosphere. The GCU cheer team had a really big impact on my choice of college because the team treats one another like family, they are collegiate, competitive, and they are amazing ambassadors for not only GCU but Christ as well.
What are your plans for post-graduation? My plans for post-graduation are to get my master’s in forensic psychology somewhere out of state. As well as getting a job while I get my masters.
Piece of advice for someone wanting to be a future GCU Cheerleader? A piece of advice I could give someone wanting to be a future cheerleader is to always have an open mind. A lot of the time things can just randomly get thrown at the team and the best way to combat that is by having an open mind.
Fun fact about yourself: A fun fact about myself is that I’m a photographer.
