I’m one of the founders and directors of Delco Storm Cheer. I live in Media with my husband Tom and my two daughters, Maddie and Emma.

Maddie attends Penncrest High School and this will be Emma’s 8th year cheering for Storm. This school year will be my 26th year as a teacher for the School District of Philadelphia.

I’m so excited to be starting our 8th year of Delco Storm Cheer! I love the time we spend with our Storm family!

President & Cheer Director

I’m a graduate of Ridley High School and Widener University, where I cheered throughout my childhood, high school and college years.

Cheerleading has played an important role in my life. I am excited to be entering my 7th season as a coach and 3rd season as director.

My goal is to create a positive, high-energy environment where athletes grow not just as cheerleaders, but as teammates and individuals.

I am so proud of the progress our program has made, and I can’t wait for another amazing season!

I’ve been involved with cheerleading for 13 years now as a director, coach or cheer mom depending on the year.

I came back to coaching three seasons ago and had a great year with my Sprinkles finishing the season as National Champions in 2023.

I can’t wait to see what fun this year will bring.

One of my favorite parts of being a coach is watching the skill progression from the beginning to end of the season!
