Blythewood, SC

BFA Class of 2030

Where did you train?

I trained at Academy of Dance Arts in Blythewood, South Carolina.

What inspires you?

My inspiration comes from those I have the privilege of dancing with. So much of how I approach dance comes from observing others and what they have to offer authentically, which really stimulates so much growth and exploration for me.

Describe yourself in three words.

Tell us a fun fact about you.

I played the oboe for 7 years and I share a birthday with Lin Manuel Miranda!

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

Being a part of USC Kaufman is just as much of an honor as it is an opportunity to be a part of a community of dancers and humans who all strive to better themselves in all aspects of their lives. The idea that we are all here for a common goal, and we can uplift each other to reach that goal together, means so much to me, and I am so grateful to be part of this legacy!
