She began training seriously at age 13.

"[Sports] have always held a significant role in my life. I began partner stunting at age one and began competitive All Star Cheerleading at six years old. After being incredibly inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games, I began gymnastics and started training at Gym-Max Gymnastics."

TWO PASSIONS
She has competed in both artistic gymnastics and cheerleading. "I was ultimately born into the sport of cheerleading and it's always been a part of me. Balancing the two sports is very normal to me and I find myself very lucky, in fact. So many people spend their whole lives working to find a passion and I've been fortunate enough to not only have one passion at such a young age, but two to work hard at. Both sports help to convey and build strong parts of who I am as a whole not only as an athlete in each sport but ultimately as a person." (flocheer.com, 19 Jun 2018)

EARLY YEARS
She was born in Germany as her father was stationed there with the US armed forces. "My father is American, while my mother is Bulgarian. After living in Germany for eight years, my family and I had moved to California." (laneymadsen.com, 2018)
