What is your favorite part of being a cheerleader?
My favorite part of being a Husker Cheerleader is my interaction with the fans. At the end of the day when the makeup comes off, the hair comes down and I hang up my uniform, it’s the bonds I’ve made with fans that stand out to me the most. Glitz and publicity aside, it doesn’t beat the warm fuzzy Husker vibes I feel on a daily basis.
Why did you decide to come to UNL?
I decided to come to UNL for the nursing program… I was already accepted into the University of Alabama’s four year nursing school but chose UNLs program on a whim as something different. Once I visited this University, I fell in love. Husker Nation is like no other.
