I am attending Oceanside Collegiate Academy, class of 2026, where I am enrolled in honors and duel enrollment classes. I started gymnastics when I was 18 months old and began competing when I was 4 years old. The 2024-2025 season will be my sixth year competing level 10. During the 2023-2034 season I competed a Yurchenko Full-on Pike off vault, round-off lay step on beam and a double Arabian on floor. During the 2024-2025 season, I plan on competing round off double back dismount on beam, double Arabian dismount on bars, Rubi lay step on floor, with more possible upgrades. During my free time, I tutor elementary age children. I also enjoy making toys for the local animal society. I am a Limit Breakers ambassador. My most recent gymnastics accomplishment was placing 1st on floor, 9.650, beam, 9.500 and all- around, 38.050.

I competed my first year of level 10, I’ve been doing gymnastics since the age of 4. I attend Wando High School, graduating class of 2026, where I take all honors courses and have a 4.3 weighted GPA. I was a Level 9 SC State champion on Bars, Beam, and All-Around, as well as the Region 2 Level 8 Bars champion. I already have a Maloney-pak, a Tkatchev, a side aerial to double full dismount on beam, and a ring jump to split full on beam.

My gymnastics journey began at the Gymnastics Academy of Charleston when I was 5 years old competing in Level 2. Over the past 10 years gymnastics has taught me many valuable life skills including perseverance, time management, work-ethic, responsibility, and how to be a supportive team member. During my gymnastics career, I was a regional qualifier in levels 8, 9, and 10, level 8 state beam champion, level 9 state vault champion and placed second on vault in Region 8. I am eager to accomplish new goals as a Level 10 gymnast in hopes of reaching my dream to become a college gymnast. I am a part of the class of 2026 at Charleston’s School of the Arts and have earned a 4.8 GPA with honors and dual credit courses. I’m so excited for the next few seasons and for my love for gymnastics to grow even more!

Gymnastics is my passion! I moved to Charleston from Aiken,SC and joined GAC in August, 2023 to take my gymnastics journey to the next level. I started in competitive gymnastics at age 5 and progressed through Level 9 at Aiken Gymnastics where I placed 1st AA at the 2022 SC State Meet Level 8 (38.325) and achieved multi-year Regional qualifications. As a HS Freshman at Phillip Simmons and Level 10 Gymnast at GAC, I am working hard and having fun, and continuing to progress towards my goal of college gymnastics. I love my GAC teammates and coaches and my HS classmates. I’m thrilled with my progress and new skills, as well as my school grades (4.55 weighted GPA). At the Palmetto Patriots Classic (PPC) Meet on February 3, 2024 in Charleston, I finished 1st AA in Level 10, Division A competition. The Journey continues!
