Fun Fact About Me: “I love energy drinks! :)”
Biggest Impact Dance Has Had On Me: “The biggest impact dance has had on me is teach me how to mess up and fall down but still be able to get back up and try again no matter what happens. Its taught me to have courage and be strong, and always believe in myself.”
Favorite SWSD Dance Memory: “Saturday Morning Dance Rehearsals, Because everyone is waiting for me because my dance bag is full of the best snacks.”
Advice For Younger Dancers: “As a graduating senior, my biggest piece of advice for younger dancers is to enjoy every moment because dance goes by so much faster than you think. The memories you will miss the most won’t even be from performing. They will be the dressing rooms, getting ready together, laughing during practice, and all the little moments with your teammates. Be proud of how far you’ve come, appreciate the people who have been apart of your journey, and enjoy every second because one day you will be standing at your last recital wondering how the years went by so quickly!”
