12 years later… and I’m finally saying goodbye to something that has meant everything to me 💚

From Renegades in Calhoun, to Stingrays in Cartersville, and finishing my last two years in Marietta… this journey has gone by faster than I ever imagined. It’s time to hang up my uniform and put away the cheer shoes.

Ending my career as a 2x Cheersport Champ, NCA Champ, Jamfest Champ, and Summit Champ is something little me would’ve never believed. Every early morning, every hard practice, every setback…it was all worth it. None of this would’ve been possible without my family, friends, and coaches who stood by me through it all.

Cheer has given me confidence, strength, and taught me that nothing is handed to you…you have to work for it. And even in the hardest moments, you keep pushing and never give up.

Lime… I gained more than a team, I gained 30 sisters. Through every burpee, every bridge walk, every struggle and every win—we did it together. Undefeated and Summit champs. I would relive that feeling a thousand times over! Walking off the mat both days with hit zero routines and hearing our name called at awards. That moment will stay with me forever 🍋‍🟩

Ashley, Catie, and Carly…thank you for taking a chance on me two years ago. Thank you for pushing us, believing in us, and giving me a team I’ll never forget. 

Forever grateful. Forever a Lime Ray 💚

For the past 10 years I have dedicated so much of myself to all-star cheer, and while I thought I would be able to go on forever with this sport, I eventually reached my tipping point. As I’ve grown, I realized I was neglecting parts of myself that that couldn’t be fixed if i continued with the sport. It breaks my heart to say this was my last season competing, but I am so grateful for everything that my career has brought me.

To all the friends I’ve made, I wouldn’t trade any of you for the world. Thank you so much for making me feel included and loved in a space that was always a little uncomfortable for me.

To all my coaches, thank you so much for trusting me on your teams, and building me up. Without you guys I wouldn’t be the confident girl I am today. #baddestbitchinamerica 

To all my family, your support over the years is why this was all possible. Without the late night car drives, unreasonably high payments, and risky gym moves I wouldn’t be the athlete I am today. I am deeply appreciative of everything you’ve poured into me and I hope you feel like it was worth it.

To the 2026 lime girls, I am so extremely grateful that the fates put us on a team together. While things seemed rocky at times, we consistently showed that we EARNED every jacket, ring, and medal awarded to us. I wouldn’t trade this team for anything in the world and I am so honored to have gone undefeated with the best girls ever. Once again, thank you so much this has been my favorite team out of all. #wkwtd

With all that said, as I close out this chapter of my life, I am extremely excited for everything else in store. Thank you for everything allstar cheer. You have my heart forever.
