Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have danced pretty much every dance style under the sun, from ballet and contemporary, to ballroom and street styles. Music does something to me - it moves me. Whatever the genre, an unexplainable reaction happens so deep within my body that I become one with the music. When a song has a strong rhythm, my unconscious body gets lost in the sound. I don't say this to be poetic, that is literally what happens to me when I hear music - even if it's just in my head.

How would being in Ciara's music video impact your life?

Dance has consumed my identity since before I was born. My mom was a competitive dancer when she was pregnant with me which I believe is how my soul chose her. I'm so blessed to have parents that have unconditionally supported my dance career from the start, and even as a Dance Major in college. Getting to work with the OG dance ICON herself would be the ultimate inspiration and validation of the years I've dedicated to my craft. I can only imagine the valuable lessons I would take back with me!

What would you do with the $20,000?

Not only am I a professional dancer, but I'm also a Pilates and movement studio owner! My mission as an entrepreneur is to support other passionate movers on their movement and fitness journeys in a safe and supportive environment. But let me tell you, owning a business has been EVERYTHING but easy and finding the funds to fully equip the studio has proven to be the biggest challenge, by FAR. The $20k would go directly towards equipment so I can continue to support my community!
