Come 2024, Shea will be a graduate of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/business\/graduate\/prospective-students\/index.aspx\">Chapman University&#8217;s MBA program<\/a> within the Argyros School of Business and Economics, and a double-alum, having pursued a double major in Business Administration and Dance during her undergraduate years at Chapman, too. Shea embodies the perfect balance between the creative and analytical aspects of life. &#8220;Chapman has given me the opportunity to grow and succeed in all aspects of life,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Through my undergraduate education, I was able to double major in Dance and Business Administration. This allowed me to pursue both the more creative and the more logistical sides of my brain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Shea&#8217;s Chapman Journey<\/h3>\n<p>Reflecting on her journey so far, Shea expresses her gratitude for the opportunities Chapman has provided: &#8220;Chapman has given me the tools I need to expand my knowledge and explore what I find interesting. I would not be where I am today without the support of all my teachers and advisors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond her academic achievements, Shea&#8217;s campus involvement is nothing short of remarkable. During her undergraduate years, she was not only a dedicated member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapmandancealliance\/\">Chapman Dance Alliance<\/a> but also a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/business\/student-org\/janes-financial-center-residency-program\/index.aspx\">Janes Financial Residency Program<\/a>, gaining real-world experience in monitoring the university&#8217;s investment portfolio. She was also a member of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapman_dg\/\">Delta Gamma<\/a> sorority throughout undergrad, holding positions such as Director of Service and Director of Rituals.<\/p>\n<h3>Beyond the Classroom<\/h3>\n<p>Shea&#8217;s passion for dance isn&#8217;t confined to campus grounds. She worked at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/break-the-floor-productions\/\">Break the Floor Productions<\/a>, a dance competition company, where she was able to combine her love for dance and business, traveling and performing over the weekends. Currently, she is interning at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/canterbury-consulting\/\">Canterbury Consulting<\/a>, an independent investment advisory firm, further propelling her career aspirations in finance.<\/p>\n<p>With a multifaceted skill set developed at the Argyros School of Business and Economics, Shea credits the school for not only imparting hard skills but also for boosting her self-confidence and networking abilities. &#8220;After undergraduate classes, I know I can stand in front of any group and share my thoughts,&#8221; she says, eagerly looking forward to expanding her skills in grad school.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst her whirlwind of achievements, Shea fondly recalls her favorite memory at Chapman \u2013 performing at the <a href=\"https:\/\/muscocenter.org\/Online\/default.asp\">Musco Center for the Arts<\/a> during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/events\/chapman-celebrates\/index.aspx\">Chapman Celebrates<\/a>, a major fundraising event. &#8220;The theater is unlike anything else, and it filled my heart to be able to dance there,&#8221; she reminisces.<\/p>\n<h3>From Campus to So-Fi Stadium<\/h3>\n<p>Looking ahead, Shea&#8217;s long-term career goals are firmly rooted in the finance field, likely within wealth management. Her journey at Chapman, however, and her career journey thus far, isn&#8217;t solely confined to the finance world. Shea is also a proud member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therams.com\/cheerleaders\/\">LA Rams Cheerleaders<\/a>. Her journey from Chapman to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/\">NFL<\/a> stage is a testament to her dedication and hard work. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6010 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/08\/IMG_0276.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to making the squad for the LA Rams Cheerleaders, Shea says &#8220;The audition process is very intense! The first day is a 10-12 hour day consisting of two rounds and a lot of dancing!&#8221; From there, finalists are picked, in which Shea and others participated in two weeks of rehearsals and interviews. &#8220;The last day is finals where you perform two at a time and the team is picked! You can watch the whole process on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/la-rams-cheerleaders-making-the-squad-nfl-tryouts\/13578072\/\">LA Rams Cheerleaders: Making the Squad<\/a>\u201d on <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/\">KABC<\/a>,&#8221; says Shea.<\/p>\n<p>For Shea, performing as an NFL cheerleader, and at the state-of-the-art <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofistadium.com\/\">So-Fi Stadium<\/a> &#8220;is the most incredible feeling in the world!&#8221; She says that the Rams organization is unique and that &#8220;one of their main focuses is community involvement and as cheerleaders, we get to play a huge role in this.&#8221; Shea has thoroughly enjoyed being able to read to young kids at local elementary schools, support youth football camps, and pay special visits to the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>Through her dual roles as a Chapman student and NFL Cheerleader, Shea&#8217;s experiences merge seamlessly. &#8220;All the dance techniques I worked on in my classes are the basis of every practice and game,&#8221; she reveals. Beyond the stage (or field), her Chapman network has been invaluable in navigating the world of auditions and professional pursuits.<\/p>\n<p>Shea Litle is the embodiment of a well-rounded student who fearlessly pursues her passions. With her eyes set on both the financial world and the dazzling NFL stage, Shea&#8217;s journey is an inspiration to all Chapman students aspiring to make their dreams a reality.<\/p>\n<p><a
