She has experience in cheerleading as a flyer as well as gymnastics and hip hop. Her favorite part about teaching is watching students/athletes get excited when they learn a new skill or make progress towards an objective. It's a joy that cannot be faked and knowing that she was a part of their journey means the world to her. When she isn't working at the studio, Coach Audrey works as an elementary special education math teacher. In her free time, she enjoys anything crafty - making scrapbooks, earrings, stationary, bookmarks, and pottery, to name a few!

Coach Meredith

Coach Meredith coaches our older HotShots. She began cheering at the age of 5 and has experience in recreational, school, and competitive cheer.

When someone can put that 110% into their art, it makes it that much more gorgeous to see. Ms. Lily is currently in school to become a master cosmetologist and in her free time, she enjoys going to the gym, spending time with friends, painting, and spending time with her kitten at home.
