CECILY RIZO Gymnast | NCAA Student-Athlete | Casting Candidate for "Nasty" PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY I am an NCAA Division I gymnast at the University of Kentucky whose athletic career reflects years of elite training, competitive success, resilience, and dedication. As a former Level 10 gymnast at the nationally recognized Texas Dreams Gymnastics program, I’ve demonstrated exceptional discipline, body control, and performance under pressure throughout my career. As a collegiate athlete competing in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), I consistently delivered strong performances across multiple events while contributing to Kentucky's success at the conference and national levels.
