SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY, AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE!
I joined the Air Force National guard over the summer. I ship out to Texas in June for basic training. Being in All-Star cheer has helped me reach this goal of being able to serve my country on a different level.
Being in the service, I learned a lot of different ways of motivating people and getting them to do what they don’t want to.
Adding college cheer on to that wasn’t very difficult, but college cheer is a little different than all-star. At the beginning of the season, my coach had no idea where to put me to base. I would main and side the stunts because every group she put me in would hit. She finally has put me on main in a stunt group that she says will be my stunt. Knowing that I can be in more than one group and the stunt hits is like being back home at my gym where my coaches there did the same thing.

HOW HAS BEING AN AMBASSADOR HELPED YOU?
Being an ambassador helped me build more confidence so I can be a better leader on my team. It has also helped me stay motivated while stunting or tumbling when I feel I’m not doing my best. It has also helped me keep a positive mind because when I feel good, I think even better thoughts.
WHAT NEW OPPORTUNITIES HAS BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR OPENED UP FOR YOU?
Being an ambassador has opened up a few great opportunities. I now have workouts that I don’t just have in practice and I can share them with people that aren’t just on my team. I have also joined the Air Force to serve my country because you can never help too many people reach their goals.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?
My favorite part is being able to workout more than just in the gym . . .being able to help some of my friends that aren’t in cheer still stay fit and feel better about themselves. It’s great to see my friends happy because they workout and it makes them feel good.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO BECOME AN AMBASSADOR?
Being a CHEERFIT ambassador is a great journey. You get to talk to other cheerleaders from around the world, and you can be yourself. It’s a great opportunity to get more fit and focus on yourself when you workout.
FUN FACT: WHAT 3 THINGS ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR CHEER BAG?

FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH:
