Nyara Tate, Reporter
Having dedicated four years of her high school experience to the West Chicago cheerleading team, Nyara Tate — known to most as Ny — is deeply involved in cheerleading beyond the sidelines. In addition to cheering for football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and competing, she now serves as both a senior captain and the team’s social media manager. That role has sparked her love for creating and sharing content, something she hopes to bring into journalism. Nyara is also in her first year of coaching, where she brings her passion and experience to help guide the next generation of cheerleaders.
Outside of cheer, she is exploring a career in cosmetology at TCD, earning dual credit and taking clients on weekends. When she is not cheering, coaching, or doing hair, Nyara can usually be found catching up on much-needed rest.
