I’m a very versatile dancer, but I mainly love to do any commercial work whether it’s Jazz, hip-hop etc. I’m also in love with musical theater because it brings out my personality and showcases my acting abilities.

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

Having the opportunity to be apart of Ciara's production would not only be dream fulfilling but it would also be a blessing. Coming from a city without too many chances to shine and truly allow my passion to be shared, this opportunity would allow to not only network, make me proud of myself, and further my career but give me the exposure I desire to express my self, my ability and ambition to create art with others.

What would you do with the $20,000?

I've been thinking about how I want to structure and strengthen my career so first, I would save 10%  - 15% because that's always been my principle. Secondly, I would invest 15%-20% into either Bank CDs or dividend stocks, just to ensure some type of long term money for my future. After that, I would start gathering resources to help me market myself better as a dancer, artist and business woman; and also learn about marketing. Then finally I would pay down some of my student loans.
