What is your favorite thing about being a Winthrop student?My favorite thing about being a Winthrop student is that it’s a smaller campus and the classes aren’t that big. I like that it’s far enough away from home, but not too far of a drive to go home for a weekend to see my family.
Are you involved in any sports or organizations?Yes, I am a Winthrop cheerleader and I’ve done that since my freshman year!
How long have you been cheerleading for?I’ve been a cheerleader since I was six-years-old. Before I came to Winthrop, I cheered for the rec department, and my middle school and high school.
What do you do as a Winthrop cheerleader?We cheer at women and men’s basketball games and volleyball games, and we also make appearances around Rock Hill and Charlotte! I’m a flyer and I tumble!
