Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I have trained in all styles of dance for seventeen years. I have always been grateful to be able to be as physically active as I am. I love that in any style of dance you can express yourself in so many different ways. Something that has always motivated and inspired me is that there are so many people in the world who do not get the chance to dance or be physically active due to illnesses, injuries, etc. This inspires me to push myself and live to the fullest everyday.

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

Being in this music video would change my life. It has been a dream of mine to dance in a music video ever since I was a young girl. I want to become a professional dancer and even tryout for a professional team for the NBA or NFL when I graduate college. I have danced to many of Ciara’s songs throughout the years as a dancer. It would be life changing to be able to perform with her as it if a once in a lifetime opportunity.

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I won the $20,000 I would use it to help pay for college. I am currently in school to become a nurse, and this money would help me tremendously with the expenses of school. Not only would I use this money for my education, and dance, but I would also donate money to my local animal shelters as I am a huge animal lover.
