What is your favorite part of your program?  
My favorite part about Twist and Shout is the gym is a Christian based gym, not only are we growing in the cheer industry but also growing in our faith as a gym. Everything we do is to glorify God. Another thing I love about my gym is they emphasize that it’s bigger than cheerleading, it’s about the journey! I love cheerleading because I have made so many awesome memories and so many friendships doing a sport that I love and enjoy.
Why do you love cheer?  
 I also love cheerleading because it has taught me so many lessons about life, not just about cheer.
Who is your role model in the cheer world?  
My role model in the cheer world is Haley Boone, she is a cheerleader on the all girl team at the University of Oklahoma. Haley has been my rock through the thick and thin, during cheer and outside of cheer. She has always pushed my team and I to be the best we can be. She is a leader and a great example to all. I’m truly blessed to have such a great friend and role model.
