    Head Coach

Hey Leopards! I am so excited to be the head coach for cheer, I have been the assistant coach for the last eight years! The 2024-2025 school year will be my tenth year teaching seventh grade PACE and GL math, as well as my ninth year working with the cheer squad. I have lived in Cedar Park, Texas since June of 1999. I have five children, all of which attended CPMS and graduated from CPHS. My youngest child, and only daughter, was a cheerleader at both for several years. My three oldest sons have all graduated from college and have jobs, while my youngest son currently works for Thermal Fisher.  My daughter will graduate from Texas State University, with a degree in early child life development this August.  To share a little bit about myself, while in high school, I actively participated in both band and color guard. My siblings were also extremely involved. I have two brothers who played football, one sister who performed on the dance team, and one other brother who was involved in theater.  Needless to say, we spent lots of time at the high school! In my spare time, I look forward to relaxing with family, working crosswords, and solving jigsaw puzzles. Believe it or not, I also love to go to theme parks and ride roller coasters with my kids! I absolutely love coaching and spending time with all of the CPMS cheerleaders. We are going to have a great year!  Lets Go Leopards!

    Assistant Coach

Hello Leopards and Families! I am so excited to join the cheer squad as Assistant Coach for the 2024-2025 year. This is my first year coaching and my 3rd year at CPMS. Currently, I teach 8th grade ADV and GL Social Studies. Originally from Los Angeles CA, I graduated from CSUF with BA English and from Pepperdine University with MS in Educational Leadership. This will be my 8th year teaching in my career and my 5th year teaching in Texas! 

I started dancing at the age of 5 and danced all the way into high school as Captain of our award winning Downey High dance team. I have danced as a character member with Disneyland and with many different productions throughout Southern California including the Laker Girls. First and foremost, I am a wife and a mom of 4 beautiful babies-all are Leander ISD students. Some of my favorite things to do are: traveling with my family, cooking Sunday dinner, working out or yoga classes, and any time I can get with my family. 

I look forward to a fantastic year at CPMS!! LETS GO LEOPARDS!!!
