I graduated from the University of Central Florida in the fall of 2014 and began with Contest of Champions shortly after. With cheerleading and dancing being a major part of my life, I was thrilled to begin working with teams to make this competition one they will never forget! I am currently the head cheerleading coach for my alma mater, Ocoee High School and have cheered and danced throughout my entire life. Months after graduating from High School in 2009, I began dancing with the NBA Orlando Magic Dancers and was also a member of their Dunking Dancers performing team. I went on to cheer on the sidelines for the NFL Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders which allowed me to travel and perform on shows such as Good Morning America. Understanding and having experienced the passion and hard work that comes with this talent makes me truly believe I can help each team make memories that will last a lifetime!
