Husker Spirit Squad

While studying sports nutrition and exercise physiology, I was a member of the Husker Coed Cheerleading Team from 2001 to 2005. During this time, I served as the Fitness Coordinator and Head Co-Captain with my partner. This was an incredible experience that gave me insight to the pressures of meeting high academic expectations alongside demanding training, travel and performance schedules. Following my participation as a team member, I maintained a presence with the team as a volunteer assistant coach and sports dietitian until 2013, giving me a total of 12 years of experience with the Husker Spirit Squad.
