Coach Skylar (Sky)
Hi! My name is Skylar (Miss Sky)! Born and raised in central IL, I attended Monmouth College for track/cross country. I graduated in 2024 from Monmouth with an Exercise Science degree and double minor in Psychology and Global Public Health.
I have been involved in tumbling and cheerleading for as long as I can remember. I cheered throughout middle school and high school... and I started cheering competitively during my freshmen year of high school for Titanium Force until my Junior year. In 2022, I worked for Jon Williams at Fondulac Park District, but now I currently work for WCSEA as a Paraprofessional at Germantown Hills Middle School.
I'm an avid exercise enthusiast, holistic health nerd, and have a passion for instilling confidence into kids! I am very excited to be with Hop, Skip, & Flip!
