COACH - Bronze Level 2

I started in cheer as an athlete on my high school team at Rutland Senior Secondary. I competed high school intermediate for my grade 10 and 11 years. During my senior year I joined Okanagan Firestorm where I competed on an all star U18 level 2 team. After I graduated I coached at my high school and took a break from being an athlete. The next year I returned as an athlete on an open non-tumble level 2 team, coached high school cheer, and started coaching all star cheer by coaching a U8 and U12 prep team. This year I am an athlete on an open non-tumble level 3 team and coaching a U8 Mini level 1 team.
