Background
- I have experience with many sports however my focus and competitive experience has been in gymnastics, diving, and collegiate cheerleading.
- I have 20+ years experience with gymnastics in California.
- I was an undefeated Northern California Junior College Springboard diver and received a diving scholarship out of state.
- I was a cheerleader on the nationally acclaimed Morehead State University All-Girl Squad.
- I am currently the cheer coach for Boise High School, Albertson College of Idaho, and two All-Star Senior and Co-ed squads at Idaho Cheer University at Wings Center.
- I also teach private cheer and tumbling lessons along with individual and squad choreography.
- I feel these three sports have led me to a place that brings fitness and body awareness as my focus in life.
