QA opened their our in 2001 with a small group of young motivated athletes. We moved forward and continued to grow every year since. We have grown so much that we are on the verge of moving into our new state of the art location on Route 52 in Pine Bush, NY. The community of Pine Bush is overwhelmingly supportive of the program and the success of our young athletes. We are proud to be able to provide our athletes with a place to go where they can progress their skills and gain life experiences.

Creating Quest Athletics 17 years ago with an extensive gymnastics and gym operations background, I devoted my time to building a successful competitive cheerleading environment. I started Quest Athletics All-Star Cheer in 2001 and I have been the Pine Bush High School Varsity Cheerleading Coach for 14 years, gaining national and section IX recognition.
After years of coaching in the industry, I became a committee member that pushed cheerleading to be recognized as a sport in the state of New York and I continue to devote my time to NYSPHAA, Section Nine and Pine Bush Varsity Cheerleading. In an effort to continue to raise the standard of competitive cheer, while maintaining a safe environment.

Cheerleading is my passion.
Starting with Pop Warner at the age of 10 and moving on to compete with nationally prominent All Star teams in Florida, Maryland and New Jersey, I have decided to devote my career to developing cheerleading athletes. My years of experience learning under different coaches with varied approaches to coordinating and developing cheerleading teams, teaching skills and motivating athletes led me to my career choice. After retiring as a competitive athlete and graduating from college with a degree in Sport and Recreation Management, I began my career as an industry professional.
My values and passion for cheerleading are unmatched. I bring much enthusiasm when training athletes in such a way as to grow their own motivation to reach their highest potential.
