I attended Bakersfield College for two years, which is a community college in my hometown Bakersfield, California. I moved to Tennessee to attend the University of Memphis where I am also a student athlete. Choosing to go to the University of Memphis showed me that my dreams of being a college cheerleader while attending a university could become possible. In high school, I was a member of the Academic Student Body class where we constantly tried to involve students in school activities, propose new ideas to better the campus, and set a good example for students on a day to day basis. I was also a part of what was called "Link Crew" where juniors and seniors of the school helped incoming freshman throughout their school year by being a friend to them, inviting them out to school activities, and being there when they had any questions that they were too shy or nervous to ask anyone else.
