Where did you train?
My training is primarily from the fine arts high school I attended, DeKalb School of the Arts, which is centered around ballet, modern and jazz styles. Without the privilege of training at a studio, I utilize the knowledge I acquired at school to train regularly in my home environment as well.
What inspires you?
I am constantly inspired by my everyday surroundings. Witnessing others’ art typically sparks inspiration for me in a different art form. For example, I can listen to a beautiful song that translates into my acting. Similarly, I can see a painting that enables me to dance with the energy I gain from said artwork.
Describe yourself in three words.
Creative, willing, experimental.
Tell us a fun fact about you.
A fun fact about me is that I am interested in all things art-related! I love to try new art forms whenever I can; this includes dancing, acting, painting, filmmaking, photography, modeling, et cetera. Next, I plan to play around with some musical elements!
What does it mean to be a part of USC Kaufman?
Being a part of USC Kaufman means being a part of a judgment-free community that prides itself on learning and experimenting daily to be not only the best dancer, but the best overall artist, I can be for myself.
