One thing about me is that I like pursuing my passions to the fullest. With my love for competitive cheerleading, I wanted to see how far I could go. While I was cheering on the sidelines during student games, I was dreaming of competing internationally at the Olympic level.
So I challenged myself to try out for the national team, and made it as the only non professional athlete. |

Training for the national team was one of the hardest thing I've ever done. I thought I was fit, but was not fit enough next to the full-time athletes. I thought I was mentally strong, but was constantly faced with new challenges to keep my spot. And there were one too many moments when I almost broke all of my limbs.

After months of intense training, I was selected to be part of the final team to compete in the World Cheerleading Championships broadcasted globally on ESPN. I got to represent one of my two nationalities at the world's largest competition, and connect with athletes from around the world with the shared passion.

During this time I experienced that truly anything is possible when I put in the work and my mind to it :)
