During Whitney’s final year in college at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, she decided to audition for the St. Louis Rams Cheerleader. Whitney, who started dancing at age three, landed a spot on the team after her first audition, fulfilling her childhood dream.
Once a member of the team, she had to learn how to balance her new role as a Rams Cheerleader with her life as a biology student at SIUE.
During her time as a student, she spent her college summers assisting with cancer research at Washington University in St. Louis. After joining becoming a part of Rams Cheer, she earned her degree in biology with a minor in chemistry and recently enrolled in dental school last fall.
