Hello, my name is Gianna Zikkos. I have been cheering since kindergarten, and I've participated in a local All-star program since 2019. Throughout my years of cheering, I have gone through two labrum repairs in my left shoulder, but I am determined to work past that and push for my goals. In college I plan to focus on my studies while also participating in collegiate cheer and other social activities. My goal is to become a sports therapist/ athletic trainer as after my two surgeries I have taken an interest in helping other athletes in similar situations. My parents have always encouraged me to be the best student I can be, while not using cheer as an excuse to not try. I participate in a local church's youth group most Sunday nights, as my relationship with God is something I try to make a priority in my life.
