Bio
Post-Graduation Goals: I want to become a police officer and make my way towards being a part of the S.W.A.T team.
Why did you choose GCU? I chose GCU because of the culture that it has. When first arriving, I was so welcomed into the school, I felt at home with GCU. I wanted to be a part of a winning culture and I felt that at GCU, I felt surrounded by winners with the same goal in mind, so it was an easy decision.
When you are not cheering, where can you be found? When I am not cheering, you can usually find me at home playing Fortnite, or at my friend’s houses, kicking back and watching some football.
Who is the most influential person in your life? The most influential person in my life would be my dad. He is such a hardworking man and I can see all that he has done for me to be where I am today. I hope one day when I have a family I can be as hardworking as he is. He has taught me how to be successful, and just so much in life.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who dreams of becoming a GCU Cheerleader? My one piece of advice is to just be patient. No matter how hard the task in front of you is, you can always overcome these obstacles. The coaches will get you through the hard tasks and if you are just patient, you can be very successful on this team.
Fun Fact: A fun fact about me is that I am a huge Marvel/DC Fanatic. I have hundreds of comics and so many posters of my favorite heroes. My number one will always be Spider-Man!
