Where did you train?

I started training seriously at Broadway Dance Center after have done competition for most of my life. I then joined the MOVE|NYC| Young Professionals Program and also graduated from LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts as a dance major.

What inspires you?

I’m inspired by being surrounded by people who are passionate, dedicated, and creative, whether that’s in the dance studio or in everyday life. I also find inspiration in music, art, and the experiences around me, because they encourage me to explore new ideas and express myself in different ways through movement.

Describe yourself in three words.

Driven, Reliable, Multi-faceted.

Tell us a fun fact about you.

I can make extremely addicting baked goods.

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

To be a part of USC Kaufman means joining a community where I can grow, take risks, and pursue my dreams alongside dancers who inspire me every day. Kaufman will challenge me to push beyond my limits while giving me the support to discover new ways of moving, creating, and expressing myself. I hope to leave USC Kaufman not only as a stronger dancer, but as a more thoughtful artist and individual.
