What Aria loves most about being part of all-star cheer is that it truly feels like a second home. It’s where she’s built lifelong friendships and learned invaluable life lessons—how to work as a team, set meaningful goals, take accountability, and collaborate with different personalities to achieve something bigger than herself. She loves the difficulty of this sport and pushes herself daily, always striving to become just a little better than she was the day before.
Aria draws her greatest inspiration from her cousin Alexis, whose love and dedication to all-star cheer spans over two decades, first as an athlete, and now as a coach. Alexis has been by Aria’s side since she was just four years old, fueling her passion and shaping her journey from the very beginning. She’s also deeply inspired by Hailey Smith, who's relentless work ethic, discipline, and commitment to becoming the best cheerleader, has earned her a place among the biggest names in cheer.
As Aria’s parents, we’re incredibly proud of her resilience. Last season, she faced two back-to-back foot fractures,a challenging setback by any measure. Yet her determination never wavered. She fought her way back into the gym with strength and grit, driven by her passion for the sport she loves so deeply. We’re equally proud of her unwavering kindness. She makes sure everyone feels included and always stands up for others without hesitation. Her heart shines just as brightly as her talent
