It is impossible to know me without understanding my love for dance. I've been dancing since I was 3 years old and it is one of the most important parts of my life. Dance is my outlet to express myself and challenges me mentally and physically. Dancing has given me the chance to build a strong relationship with my community and travel around the US and even to Croatia! I am a member of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts and spend 10-15 hours training every week.
Below is a selection of photos and videos from recent performances, competitions, and other events.
