Spotlighing Rams Cheerleader Kenisha

A few days before the NFL approved their move to LA, the Rams website featured Rams Cheerleader Kenisha in their “From the Top” series. Kenisha is full of fun and energy, and as she mentions below about what her team means to her, “Everything. They are my friends. They’ve helped me through things. They’re a very special part of my life.”

Kenisha started dancing when she was nine years old. She fell in love immediately, enjoying every visit to her dance studio in O’Fallon, Mo. She continued dancing through high school and went on to coach youth cheerleaders of the Mid-Rivers Football Association.

After graduating from Fort Zumwalt North High School, Kenisha attended University of Missouri-Columbia, where she was a member of Main Attraction Dance Team. After two years on Main Attraction, Kenisha became a member of the Mizzou Golden Girls, the university’s official dance team. Kenisha recently earned her degree in business administration from Mizzou this past spring. Though she was finished with school, she hadn’t quite graduated from dancing just yet.

Coming back to St. Louis, she auditioned for the St. Louis Rams Cheerleaders. She made the team and the rookie hasn’t looked back since. In addition to being a Rams Cheerleader, Kenisha launched her career at Boeing where she works as a procurement agent.
