Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I am inspired by the fusion of global dance styles. My primarily focus is contemporary, but I love incorporating elements of West African, Latin, and folk dances. I am inspired by always pushing my skills and learning new techniques!

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

I want to learn how to make a music video. I want to choreograph, film, direct, and produce dance music videos as a career!

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would go on a global travel adventure and study different dance styles, documenting my travels and hire a team to help me produce a documentary of it. Then, I would come back to the US and reshape the dance education system to include a more diverse teaching curriculum :)
