This year will be my 2nd year of coaching Peewee Cheer! My favorite part of coaching peewee is teaching the young ones the fundamentals of cheer and cheering along too!

My favorite thing about coaching is watching the girls blossom! There is nothing better than watching them develop and grow their skills and confidence!

I have been coaching for the better part of 12 years now. I cheered for WSLL from the PeeWee level all the way to Varsity and continued to cheer in high school and college. My favorite part about coaching is providing a safe and fun environment for my team and seeing their progression throughout the season. My main goal as a coach is to make a difference in at least one kid's life like some of my coaches did for me growing up. Fun fact about me is that I love music and art (I'm actually the social media manager for the organization and the one making these posts)! I also have a beautiful rescue dog named Stella and two rescue leopard geckos!
