my first cheer compition
I started competitively cheering from my moms cheer program at the age of 3. it was nothing like what I do today but this was my first time out on the mat cheering for a crowd. I was the youngest girl on the mat and when it came to signs for the cheer since the programs name of shinning stars i was also given the T because of my name.at one of the compitions i ran off the met because my shoe was untied and after my mo tied it, i got back on the mat and everyone started cheering. -
my first all star competition
about a year later at the age of 4 my mom put me in all star cheer. my moms ex co coach from new ro high school told my mom about the world of allstar cheer and "since I was breed to cheer" I should be in something a little more competitive. I started my all star cheer career at world challenge in fishkill. my practices would go till 8 and i would look at my mom through the window from the watching room and motion that i wanted to go to sleep and she would just laugh. -
first yankee game
if you ask me where i am every other week during the baseball season im going to say yankee stadium. i was never a massive fan of baseball but when i got the option to go to a yankee game last july i didnt turn it down. after that i went every other week through the whole season. this picture was me at my first yankee game and i think it foreshadowed my love for the place. fun fact i also fell asleep during the national anthem and slept through most of the game -
first lacrosse team
i first started playing lacrosse before I left private school. my dad was a big lover of lacrosse so i sort of had to like it. and i did. i played up until 8th grade. I started playing for pawling and my deepest memory was eating orange slices after the game.i also remember getting yelled at a lot because i would always do cartwheels on field -
surfing
the first time i went surfing i was 7. it was one of funnest things ive ever done and ever since whenever im in rhode island i have to go surfing. the feeling when ur just riding a wave feels like you're on top of the world. -

cutting my hair
in 4th grade i cut my hair to a bob because thats what was cool in the cheer world. a bob. it was probably the worst decision ive ever made beacuse my hair is curly and when it dried natural i looked like dora. atleast i got to donate it -
broken ankle
I was doing a standle double full on the trampoline and i snapped my ankle. i was probably outside creaming for 5 minutes before my neighbor heard me and told my mom i was crying. she didnt hear me because she was washing the dishes, the ac was going and someone was in the shower. this was a week and a half before i competed at nationals for the first time and i was so sad. -
