Where did you train?

I began my dance training at State Street Ballet Academy (formerly Gustafson Dance) and continued at Ballet Academy Ventura. I attended St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire for high school, where I trained and performed as a member of the St. Paul’s School Ballet Company.

What inspires you?

I am inspired by the energy of the people around me. Human connection and the ability to express emotion through movement remind me why I love to dance.

Describe yourself in three words.

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

Being a part of USC Kaufman means joining a community that inspires me to grow alongside dancers who share my same passion and dedication. It means challenging myself, embracing my individuality, and bringing kindness, positivity, and openness to those around me. Attending Kaufman is a dream come true, and I can’t wait to see how the next four years of exploration and collaboration will shape me as both a person and a dancer.
