Hello, my name is Tyra Ramirez. I am 16 years old and have been cheering for WHS for two years and will be going into my third year of cheering as a junior. I am so excited for the opportunity to teach tumbling and cheer at the studio this coming year! before I started cheering I was a gymnast and learned many tumbling skills. I can’t wait to share and teach them to others. As a little girl I always looked up to the older cheerleaders hoping I would be like them one day. This year I hope I will become a role model for the younger girls just like the older cheerleaders were for me! I can not wait for this coming year to begin. I am looking forward to meeting all that will be attending my classes.
