Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

I found my love for Dance when I would play "Just Dance" with my bio mom and sisters at 5 years old. My parents were separated when I was a baby and I would often visit my mom on the weekends. I eventually stopped seeing my mom for 7 years after her and her boyfriend got arrested for alcohol abuse. They were drunk and she stabbed him after he attempted to strangle her. I am now 18 years old and I want to be a professional dancer to keep the one happy memory of my mom alive.

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

The opportunity to be in Ciara's music video would completely change my life. Not only would it give me a start in my dance career, but it would be an incredible opportunity to learn more about dance and to discover more about myself.

What would you do with the $20,000?

If I won $20,000 I would immediately use that for my college tuition. I am currently a dance major at Western Washington University. My father is helping to pay for my first year, but my family cannot afford to pay for college next year. This is a huge opportunity for me and I am grateful to have made it this far.
