Coach Trinity
All Star Director
Born and raised right here in Central Missouri, Trinity’s roots in this community run deep—and so does her passion for cheerleading.
Her journey started at Capitol City Cheer when she was just five years old, where she quickly fell in love with the sport and the energy of the mat. She continued cheering through high school before taking her talents to the University of Missouri, where she proudly spent four years on the Mizzou All-Girl Cheer Team.
Cheerleading has been a huge part of Trinity’s life and has helped shape the person she is today—building her leadership, confidence, discipline, and competitive drive.
Now, she’s coming full circle.
Trinity is back at Capitol City Cheer, the place where her journey began, to start an exciting new chapter as our All-Star Director.
She brings with her a deep love for the sport, fresh ideas, and a strong growth mindset as we continue to build and develop our program and athletes.
We are incredibly excited for the future and can’t wait for our athletes to learn and grow under her leadership.
