Where did you train?

My dance training started at Impact Dance Center before continuing at PAVE School of the Arts. I later attended The Orange County School of the Arts Commercial Dance Conservatory from 7th to 12th grade, joining the competitive hip-hop team GRaVy babies at 15 and simultaneously training at The Premier Ballet School of Orange County at 17.

What inspires you?

What truly inspires me is love. Love is something that can even transcend death itself and that is a testament to how incredible it is. To just imagine that we have the ability to not only feel love but also create it, inspires me to just love even more. To love what I do, what I have in my life, and to love the people around me. Such a strong and powerful thing doesn’t just stop at inspiring me to love but inspiring me to truly live and be free.

Describe yourself in three words.

Adaptive. Passionate. Odd.

Tell us a fun fact about you.

I buzzed my head twice.
