Where did you train?

I trained at my high school, Somerset Arts Conservatory, and at a studio called Dance Attack located in Miami, Florida.

What inspires you?

I find inspiration in almost everything, but overall the support and encouragement I receive from friends, family, and teachers has always pushed me to believe in myself. 

Describe yourself in three words.

Ambitious. Respectful. Passionate. 

Tell us a fun fact about you.

I have a freckle in my eye. 

What does it mean to be a part of USC Kaufman?

Being a part of USC Kaufman means being a part of a vibrant and dynamic community that inspires and empowers not only me but each other to reach our fullest potential as dancers and artists. I am beyond excited to get to work with so many beautifully talented people.
