Tina Galdieri

Tina Galdieri has served as the Director and Head Coach of the Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders since the program's inception in 1998. A driving force behind the creation and evolution of the NFL's first co‑ed cheerleading squad, she has shaped the program into one of the league's premier cheer and stunt teams.

Throughout her tenure, Tina has represented the Ravens on 20 overseas military tours with Armed Forces Entertainment, bringing support and spirit to service members around the world. She has coached the squad through both Ravens Super Bowl Championships, and in 2016, she was honored as one of the inaugural inductees into the Baltimore Ravens Cheerleader Hall of Fame.

Tina's passion for cheer and dance began long before her coaching career. She cheered for the University of Maryland Terrapin Co‑Ed Squad, earning her bachelor's degree in criminal justice while establishing herself as a two‑time Collegiate All‑American. She taught NCA high school camps from 1988–1993, performed in the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Olympic Games, and cheered internationally for the World Football League's Barcelona Dragons. As a coach, she led the University of Maryland All‑Girl Squad to an NCA National Championship in 1999.

Beyond the Ravens, Tina is an entrepreneur and owner of a medspa in Howard County. She resides in St. Michaels, MD with her husband John, enjoys cheering on her daughter Gracie at Penn State, and spends her empty‑nester days managing a property occasionally overtaken by turtles and geese.
