Summary


Cheerleading has been a part of my life for 15 years, including 4 competitive seasons as an athlete at Cheer Extreme Raleigh and prior years at Rockstar Cheer. Being coached at Cheer Extreme shaped not only my skills but my values—discipline, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence—which continue to guide me as a coach today. I’ve carried that foundation into high-level coaching roles in both all-star and high school cheer, and I’m eager to return to the program that helped mold me. I believe deeply in Cheer Extreme’s mission and am excited for the opportunity to contribute to its continued success. I also helped lead St. James varsity cheer to second in the 5A division this past year at state. as well as coaching my 2 all-star teams receive a bid to the D2 summit.
