I first learned about cheerleading during my senior year of high school. I did not know how to tumble; I did not know how to cheer; but what I did know, is that I was a hard-working athlete and this sport was made for me.
Shortly after becoming a cheerleader, I tried out for the Tennessee State University coed team, and was accepted in 2003. I was fortunate enough to cheer there for 2 years, and when I returned home I started coaching Morgan Park High School's cheerleading team. We were getting amazing results, and people asked why don't you start your own All-Star team. I had no idea what an All-Star team was, but Iook at me now!

I have been with Storm for 3 seasons as a coach and 7 seasons as a parent. I have also coached Elementary cheerleading and worked as an Instructional Assistant for Chicago Public Schools since 2000.
I love working with the little ones because they are so eager to learn. They enjoy cheering, wearing makeup to compete, and practicing hard with the hopes of going to Mickey Mouse’s house at the end of our season to compete. They practice just as hard as the older athletes and love to be respected as cheerleaders. I do it for the smiles on their faces when they master a new skill!
“We are the cutest, we are the best. At competitions we’re better than the rest. No other team, can take us under!!! ‘Cause we’re Chicago Storm Tiny Thunder!
