Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have a variety of dance styles like hip hop, street jazz, jazz dance, pom, and body percussion (step). Some of these variety of dance styles I performed as a kid in Girls Inc. of St. Louis and in Little League Cheerleading. Also in high school I performed some of these dance styles in Glee, on the Rhythmettes dance team, and on the step team at Ritenour High. Then in college I participated in a fraternity stroll off for the Sigmas.

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

It could possibly put me in line with more opportunities, which could possibly help free me of student loan debt. I also want to retire my hard working single parent breast cancer survivor mom that works tirelessly day in and out with little to no sleep. She wears many hats. Also, I have been a fan of Ciara’s since I was 9 years old. I would watch her music videos and mimic her every move.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I would pay off some of my student loans.
