Patient, caring, fun, passionate, and creative.

Most rewarding part of teaching youth:

The most rewarding part of being a coach is the joy I get back from seeing the kids enjoy cheer, it takes me back to when I was in cheer. I love giving back and sharing my passion.

My hobbies outside of cheer would definitely include music and getting creative with my time. I enjoy shopping and getting dolled up for brunch and dinner dates!

What have you taken with you from being in cheer:

Cheer taught me confidence, dedication and the true meaning of teamwork. It taught me to never give up because with time anything can be accomplished. It helped me believe in myself in every aspect of my life. Because of cheer, I am the strong and ambitious woman I am today, something I have always dreamed to be.

What have you taken with you from being in cheer?

I think the most important thing I’ve taken away from being in cheer is being able to relate to students. Coaching has taught me a great deal about patience. I try my hardest to be considerate of the students and their needs, especially those who may not feel as confident. These classes are for the kids and it is important to me that they are having fun.

How has Karate benefited you most?

Something that has benefitted me from karate, which I’ll talk about a little later, is being able to put together my martial arts practice with my musical practice, especially since music is my career outside of teaching for Young Champions.

Reason you started doing Karate?

Part of my interest in karate came from the cartoons I watched in my youth… a lot of which had fighting scenes in some episodes, if not every episode; I received a flyer for YC’s program during school and wanted to learn how to fight from there.
