The Legacy

As the Owner of Rowdy Squad FO LLC, my vision has always been to create a youth cheerleading feeder program that allows cheerleaders to perform for local events, high school athletic games and compete in youth spirit competitions that fully support young athletes and their families making it truly affordable. I want encourage new generations to follow the foot steps that New Mexico Cheer once had when I was growing up as a kid. I believe in nurturing a love for cheerleading and tumbling while instilling life lessons like teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. I'm committed to building a strong community of youth athletes not just in their hearts but in every thing they do. I believe in educating and coaching the foundations for developmental cheer, providing youth athletes the love and support they need to become successful athletes. That's why I offer my program in all schools (public, private, charter) in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Pueblos, Reservations with hope to bring our program STATE WIDE!

​

I began my cheerleading journey 33 years ago for New Mexico Cheer with my cheer coach/owner Astra Stevens in 2nd grade. I cheered for Susie Rayos Marmon Elementary, John Adams Middle School and West Mesa High School. I am in progress of certification for Technical Offical for NMAA/NMOA Spirit/Dance and have coached for many programs here in Albuquerque for over 13 years. I coached Rio Grande High School as a Varsity Coach. I am New Mexico home grown. Most importantly a Member of the Rio Rancho Regional Chamber. 

​

I have 3 important people to thank for always encouraging me to excel to higher lengths: Brandon Chavez of 365 Spirit/former HS teammate and Debra Nord my High School Varsity Cheer Coach at West Mesa. They both guided me along my journey as a varsity coach. Most importantly, Astra Stevens, her sister Yvette Griego creator of "Dance, Dance, Dance... It's a Teen Thing" and their beautiful family- Astra Stevens the Owner of New Mexico Cheer program that taught me the fundamentals in cheer. I hope to make a pathway just like she did and bring back what New Mexico has been missing.

​

Cheerleading is in my blood. I'm more than passionate about the sport of cheer and strive to give memorable experiences for our aspiring youth cheerleaders. My prayer and hopes is to inspire our young athetes to become cheer coaches, run more programs and give back to the community as I do.
