I started cheerleading at the age of 7 with the Broncos, and that’s when my passion started. I cheered from that moment up until my final day in high school, as I made Varsity all 4 years. I love working with kids, not only do I coach here in the afternoon, I also work at a DayCare during the day. My favorite thing about working at Extreme is being able to help kids find their passion, just like I did when I was little. I currently am going to college at Macomb, with hopes of starting a career working with children.
