Education:

I am currently pursuing my BFA in Secondary Dance Education at Arizona State University.

Favorite EPIK style of dance:

I love every EPIK style, but if I had to pick just one it would be any form of hip hop because it is the most foreign to me and I love learning new movement.

When was the moment you knew you wanted to be a dancer?

I knew I wanted to be a dancer when I got the opportunity to compete at Walt Disney World MGM Studios my freshman year in high school in Franklin, TN with the Centennial High School Dance Team. It gave me such an adrenaline rush…performing and choreographing was going to be my “thing.”

What or who are you inspirations:

Music drives my creativity. Also, I can sit and watch hours of dance videos on YouTube and get so energized. Mia Michaels. Gina Starbuck. Kate Jablonski. NappyTabs. Wade Robson. EPIK Company Members…each one of them inspire me in their own way. Everyone is so unique and brings so much to the table. Last but not least, my Lord Jesus Christ.
