Amy is the current owner and head coach for VEA.  During her childhood she was involved in many sports, gymnastics and dance.  It wasn't until she was 14 years old that she found her true passion in cheerleading.  Amy cheered on her high school competitive team for three years and was also on the school's dance team.  During those years Amy had the opportunity to perform at the Women's World Cup Finals with Jennifer Lopez and in the halftime show at the Citrus Bowl in Florida.  Immediately following her graduation from high school, she began coaching for East Union HS Cheer Team and instructed the freshmen through varsity levels for 3 years.  Amy got her first taste of allstar competitive cheerleading by coaching for Cheer Odyssey for 2 years.  She loved the fast paced routines and level of difficulty that allstar cheer had compared to high school cheer.  In 2004, Amy, along with a group of ladies, founded Victorious Elite Allstars. 

It has been 5 years since VEA first opened its doors and Amy says," There have been more long practices than I can count and even more proud moments, we've experienced defeat and triumph, frustrations and excitement, shock and surprise, we've said goodbye to many cheerleaders and have welcomed even more to the gym, I have coached some of the same kids for over five years and have been honored to see them grow into young men and women.  Everything has been a learning experience and I have some of the best memories of my life, so far.  I love all of my families, coaches and staff at VEA and I wouldn't change a thing!"
