Laura E.

Since 2009, I have been a full time professional trainer in dance, cheerleading, fitness, running and pageantry (which is also considered a sport!). The highlights of my resume include being crowned 2011 Ms. United States, directing indoor professional football's Lady Raiders Dance & Cheer Team, cheering 6 seasons with the NFL and 1 season with the MLS, and currently overseeing the USA Science Cheerleaders - a group that is paired with Pop Warner Cheerleaders and appeared on the Today Show and CNN! Performance is my passion, and I am dedicated to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. I do travel for guest speaking, workshops, masters classes, choreography, stage production and other needs, but my home base is Washington, DC. **Cheers** - Laura
