When Kerra Christensen was a little girl, she wanted to be a dancer. Throughout her day, dance is the thing that makes her smile. During high school, she has been involved with Dance Atlantic’s competition team. She is most proud of achieving some good scores at her dance competitions. Christensen’s most memorable moment in her life so far has been winning first place in the Iowa State Fair tumbling competition. If she could have a “do-over” in life, she would have spent more time working on her tumbling. Her role model is Shawn Johnson because she is good at tumbling.

In high school, the teacher who has made the most impact on Christensen is Weida, and the mose most influential person in her life has been her mom. Her favorite family memory has been traveling to Texas to see her family. She has a brother, Brett. She also has two cats, Cupcake and Kuni.

After high school, Christensen plans to enlist in the National Guard and attend college at Iowa Western to become a nurse. She wants to work with babies, and she decided on this career because she loves babies.
