Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style is authentic, rich, energetic, and vibrant. Since the start of my career, I have always been a flexible and adaptive dancer. With my experience in backstage dancing, I continue to mold my skill level for various genres of music and creative directions. Although I am a versatile dancer, I am rooted to R&B, pop, and Caribbean genres.

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

It would impact my life spiritually and fulfill my purpose of being a representation that young African American women can be successful in the dance industry. Being in Ciara's music video would allow me the opportunity to hug the little girl in me and say that I have made it. My goal is to always be proof and representation that blessings do exists when you simply make the sacrifice.

What would you do with the $20,000?

Coming from Springfield, Massachusetts, there aren't many studios and dancing opportunities for young adults and adults. My priority would be to open up a cultural dance studio in this location, offering a safe and creative space for artists and dancers to connect, and share their gifts with others. Springfield, Massachusetts would be the first location to open, with the business goal of opening numerous studios in western Massachusetts.
