You cheered on the very successful Brandon Senior Black, tell us how that shaped you as a cheerleader?
Being on BSB has shaped me in so many ways as a cheerleader and a person. I learned to always be prepared for anything. To always stay on top of my game, to be responsible for myself by being on time and to lead by example, and always represent myself well.
You cheer at Navarro currently, another program with big traditions and a legacy of excellence, tell us how it feels to be a part of such a well-known college cheerleading program?
It is an amazing feeling to be a part of this program. Not many people get to call themselves a Navarro cheerleader. So I take it with such pride and honor to be there. I make sure that every day in practice I give my full potential to keep the traditions and the legacy going.
Who is your biggest motivation?
My parents are my biggest motivators. They always have the best interests for me, and they literally always have my back no matter what. I know I can always turn to them for anything, and I just want to make it big in life and make them so proud of me for making it.
What are your future goals in the cheerleading world?
My future goals in the cheerleading world are to become a well-known choreographer and to one day be a cheerleading coach!
