Background before Acro	Before acro, I was just a Level 3 artistic gymnast. I have continued my artistic gymnastics career and am now a Level 9 artistic gymnast coached by Valeriy Goncharov, Olympic Champion. I have a love for both disciplines (acro and artistic) and I love to compete
Goal after Acro	I have so many plans after acro! I want to attend college and continue my artistic gymnastics career. To compete gymnastics at a college level would be amazing. I would also love to work with the Cirque du Soleil. Performance is a part of me and I want to one day be on stage. After all of that, then I would like to open and run my own, highly competitive, gymnastics facility.
Additional Info	I am the daughter of Jennifer and Greg Stone. My father passed away when I was young and I believe I put all that energy into my gymnastics. Many times when I am performing, I’m dancing for my dad. I want to help other kids accomplish and achieve goals even though they may not have had a typical childhood like my own. I want to teach kids how to take that sadness and make it into something positive.
