Cheryl was the former cheer coach at Holy Cross High School, Southern Connecticut State University and Quinnipiac University and led the schools to many championships at the state and national level. In 1997, Cheryl started her own cheerleading program and became the owner, operator and coach of USA Wildcats All Star Cheerleading Organization which was a lifelong dream for her. Since that time, she mentored, guided and inspired thousands of athletes and lead them to multiple national titles.
She was the head coach of the USA Wildcat Senior Elite team since the beginning. She was named 1994 coach of the year for the Olympian Club of Waterbury. Cheryl was also named Who's who among high school coaches in 1996 and Who's who of All Star coaches in 2009 in American Cheerleader Magazine. 
When Cheryl wasn't focusing on coaching, she was always happiest relaxing on a quiet white sand beach, preferably in the Caribbean Islands. Cheryl unfortunately passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 6th 2021. She was taken from us all way too soon and will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know and love her.
​USA Wildcats will continue to honor her legacy.
