Hey AHHS Cheer Family! I am so excited to continue with you on your journey as a 2020-2021 AHHS Cheerleader! I have an extensive background in the cheerleading world. I started this wonderful sport when I was 8 years old! I cheered in junior high, high school, and college. I was on UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association) Staff for 12 years (2003-2014) as a head instructor. I have coached at the junior high level, high school level , and collegiate level (we competed 3 years at UCA College Nationals in Florida). I have a background judging cheerleading competitions across the nation, both school and all star, as well as some experience in choreography. I am so excited to see where I can lead the AHHS Cheer Program. I am entering my 18th year in Education and I currently serve as the Campus Data Leader (Data Analyst and Testing Coordinator). I'm sure you have seen my husband, Mr. Lopez, around Heights as well. We have a beautiful 5 1/2 year old daughter, Bryleigh Lynn Lopez, who has begun her journey in the cheer world at Champion Cheer All-Stars. I know that we are going to have a great year! Be ready to work hard as I hope to push each and every one of you to your greatest potential each and every day! Cheers! Coach Lopez
