What inspired me to teach?
I joined cheerleading as a young 20 something and fell in love with the sport. I love to share my passion with others and as I became a veteran in the sport, I wanted to be the kind of coach I never got and inspire athletes to love what they do while having the greatest time learning new skills and becoming confident in themselves.
Why do I teach?
I teach because I love to celebrate with students when they gain a new skill
or overcome their own mental blocks. There is nothing better than the look on a student’s face when they accomplish their goal and realize they can do what they thought was impossible.
What do I teach?
I will be assisting the amazing teachers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays in Kids Tumbling!
Fun Fact
I hate chocolate, but I love the smell of fake chocolate.
