I have been a cheerleader since the age of 8. After struggling with an eating disorder in 2020 i have found it an excellent way to aid my recovery. This season i made the international team competing in Florida in April 2025.

I have been competing in cheerleading since the age of 8 and it has always been my dream to compete at the World Championships in Florida. After struggling with an Eating Disorder in 2020 i thought i had lost my opportunity. 

Despite this i decided to focus on cheer and use it as a means of recovery. Now 4 years later i've found such an intense love for the sport and i am finally able enough to compete this season at worlds. I want to represent all those struggling with mental health issues and show them that it is possible to reach their dreams.
