Brittany began gymnastics and dance at age five and began cheerleading at age six when she joined the Comets All-Star Team at Capital Cheer in Austin.  Her involvement with and love for cheerleading lasted throughout her high school years.  Brittany joined the Austin Cheer Factory All-Stars in 2002 and continued to pursue the sport of competitive completive cheerleading.  She was a member of multiple Level 2, 3 and 4 teams and has competed in over 50 competitive cheer events in Texas as well as nationally between 2002 and 2008.  Brittany’s teams won 13 National Championship titles overall, including the coveted National Cheerleader’s Association (NCA) title.  In 2005, Brittany’s team at Austin Cheer Factory competed in the Junior Olympics in New Orleans and won the National Champion and Grand Champion titles in cheerleading.  Simultaneous to competitive cheerleading, Brittany also was a middle school cheerleader at Shoreline Christian School in the 7th Grade and an 8th Grade cheerleader at Hyde Park Baptist School.  Brittany choreographed winning competition routines for her Hyde Park middle school team, winning first place and a choreography award.  Brittany was a Varsity Cheerleader during her four years of high school at Hyde Park Baptist High School and was Captain of an 18 member squad during her senior year.  She choreographed a variety of school and competition routines for Hyde Park Varsity and led her school team to multiple first-place championship titles.
