Summary

Biography

 Year on HPU Cheer: 2nd
Cheer Experience: My cheerleading career started 8 years ago, back home in Slovenia. I cheered for two different teams called The Frogs and The White Dragons and won many National,  and European, titles with them. In 2009 I was chosen to represent my country at ICU World Championship and IASF Worlds. I have competed as team Slovenia every year since then, and won 3 bronze medals in coed partner stunt division. Also in 2009,  I became a part of The International Elite staff, which is the biggest cheerleading company in Europe.    
Specialty Skills: All hard coed stunts (one to one, bhs full up...) baskets 
What attracted you to HPU: I followed HPU on youtube ever since I became a cheerleader. I watched all the videos over and over again, trying to figure out the right technique to learn new stunts and get new skills, and it was actually the HPU highlight video 2009-2010 that blew my mind and created my dreams to become a part of this Ohana. 
Favorite part of cheerleading: I like everything about cheer - stunting, tumbling, pyramids, baskets, even cheering at games, but what I love the most is stepping on that blue mat with people you love so much and hit the routine you've been working on, so hard, all year.
