Maria Friedhaber '24 Recruiting Profile

Since I first started school, I have always loved working with children, and I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher. The ability to teach elementary-aged children is one of my future college aspirations and objectives.

I discovered cheer after two years of gymnastics and enjoy it. My teams have placed first at sectionals, second and third in league competitions, and first overall.

I grew up being the team leader ever since I found my love for cheer, and I am studying and learning more about God. We never had a team captain throughout all of the times I cheered; however, I always helped everyone and played the role of the team's captain for us. I wasn't quite at the very top of my class in terms of academics and performance in school, but I consistently earned strong scores, especially in math and science.
