Bio
Major/Minor: Psychology
Post-Graduation Goals: I want to become a behavioral specialist for autistic children.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because it has the feeling of being a small school even as it continues to grow. The school spirit at GCU is unlike anything I have ever seen and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I was also very impressed by the cheerleading program and watched it grow over the years.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? I can be found hanging out with my friends or taking a nap.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential person in my life is my mother. She is the most caring and brave women I have ever met. She has taught me so many valuable life lesson and I would not be the person I am today without her in my life.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My best advice would be to pay attention to the small details. Weather this is in regard to your tryout packet or the technique in your skills.
Fun Fact: I have lived from coast to coast in the United States (Washington D.C., Somers Iowa, San Diego CA)
Favorite Bible Verse or Quote: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”
