Olympics in 1976 when she was only 14! She was born in Onesti, Romania on November 12, 1961. She grew up in Romania in an apartment with her parents.

I have participated in the all-star competition cheerleading world since I was a very young girl. Over the last ten years, cheerleading has not only taught me how to stunt, tumble and dance, it has also taught me so many remarkable life lessons, such as leadership, teamwork, determination, and perseverance. One important lesson I have learned over the years is how to overcome failure as well as learning to control the fear of failure. The all-star cheerleading industry is very competitive; one…
The trampoline is one of the world's oldest and most beloved outdoor activities. It is used in the training of the world's top divers and gymnasts. Many kids have enjoyed this toy while the parents were outside hosting a neighborhood barbeque. Unfortunately, traditional trampolines have been the cause of many injuries.

I have never had to do first aid on someone with a mental disability, but since doing this internship at Tiger’s gymnastics, I knew how to approach the situation differently than I normally would. I knew I had to be overly sympathetic and make sure his emotional needs were met just as much as his physical needs. I had to ask different questions than I normally would…
