Elizabeth Brown

Proactive and goal-oriented with excellent problem-solving skills. Known for reliability and adaptability, with strong capacity to learn and apply new skills. Committed to leveraging these qualities to drive team success and contribute to organizational development.

In addition to attending school full time, I am a cheerleader at the University of Alabama where time management has been imperative. With such rigorous physical demands, many days start off with 5:00 am workouts and a full time school load and anywhere from one to two practices in a day. Game days are filled with activities and special appearances as well as cheering on various teams like football, basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball.

My first year of college was during Covid and I attended Eastern Kentucky University where I cheered and competed at the D1 level in Orlando, FL. We won runner up to the national title that year. I received academic recognition for maintaining a 4.0 and was named to the dean’s list both semesters.

Not giving up on my dream of cheering at Alabama, I later was able to attend “in person” tryouts (as COVID restrictions had lessened) and I ultimately made the team. I transferred starting my sophomore year and have gone through the cheerleading tryout process every year since. While cheering at the University of Alabama, I received the Academic Achievement Award all three years. Being a student athlete has been one of the greatest joys of my life. The work ethic I was taught at Pikeville High school prepared me for the life I would later come to know at UA.

I have learned that it takes hard work, dependability, a strong work ethic, and a coachable mentality in order to accomplish goals in life. My hope is to always apply these same strategies and reach my goal of one day becoming a Physician Assistant.
