2020’s Decade Representative & EAC Liaison

Corinne Chun grew up across the Pacific Ocean on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. Her love for dance and passion to perform started at the age of 3 when her parents signed her up for hula lessons at her local halau (dance studio). Over the years, dancing hula became her way of connecting to her Native Hawaiian roots and culture. During the Eagles’ audition process, Corinne got to showcase 2 unique hula dances with her performance solos.

Corinne cheered for 4 years in high school, competing in and winning 2 UCA National Championship titles. She then went on to cheer for a year in college at OSU. Corinne graduated Summa cum laude from Oregon State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Sciences, and a Minor in Sociology. She then moved back home to Hawaii to become an Elementary School Special Education teacher. She taught for 5 years on the west side of the island, before relocating in 2017 when she made the Eagles Cheer team. That season, Corinne cheered on the Birds to their FIRST Super Bowl victory in Minnesota. She spent 5 more seasons with the Eagles and had the honor of being one of the captains in the 22-23 season. 

During her time on the squad, Corinne was blessed with the opportunity to participate in two military tours with Pro Tour Productions and Armed Forces Entertainment, traveling to her home state of Hawaii and to Japan. Corinne has participated in every Eagles Autism Challenge since its inaugural year in 2018!  She has seen it grow from a one-day event to the Eagles Autism Foundation that we see today. Corinne is proud to be PPFCA’s EAC liaison because she gets to combine her work and personal passion for the Autism community to help raise awareness and funds for Autism research! 

Outside of cheering, Corinne has spent her time in PA learning and exploring.  She went back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Special Education from Widener University. She also recently received a graduate certificate in Psychology from Capella University, which will be used on her journey to become a BCBA. 

She is looking forward to exploring more of the East Coast this year and meeting all of the wonderful alumni who paved the way before her.
