Where did you train?

I trained with Leighton Dance Project in Folsom, California.

What inspires you?

I find myself inspired by the act of searching for inspiration itself. It’s focusing your awareness on noticing the unnoticed. Being vulnerable to opening your curious lens to the familiar and transforming anew. In my experience, it’s less about a finite spark of inspiration and more about the perspective that evolves along the way.

Describe yourself in three words.

Thoughtful. Warmhearted. Fun!

Tell us a fun fact about you.

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week!

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

Exploration, diversity, community, and discipline. Being part of the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance is a true honor and a privilege. It means joining a legacy shaped by these values. It means showing up with vulnerability, it means carrying responsibility with care, and I’m so grateful to experience it.
