During my tenure at Kern High School District, I spearheaded a transformative cheerleading program at two different schools, leveraging my expertise in choreography design and motivational leadership to enhance team performance and cohesion. It is my belief that a great cheer program is an intricate web of balancing relationships with administration, cheer parents and cheerleaders. My strategic approach to recruitment and injury prevention led to a significant decrease in injuries, underpinning a culture of excellence and safety.
I have a proven track record of leading cheerleading squads to success through innovative routines and motivational coaching. I have successfully organized and executed numerous high-profile events and competitions, fostering positive and energetic team environment. I have demonstrated my ability to enhance team performance and morale through strategic planning and effective communication. My Super Power is getting cheerleaders to believe that they can succeed, equipping them with the skills to succeed and then watching them become successful.
