Tell us about your dance style or inspiration:

My dance style stems from ballet, jazz, modern, and hip-hop. However, my specialty dance style is Jazz. This genre inspires me because it combines all of my versatile dance experience and illuminates a feeling inside of me that moves others. In college, I participated in the marching band as a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) dancer, utilizing jazz technique. That experience enhanced my stage presence, personality, and character when performing.

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

Being a part of Ciara's music video will impact my life because this will be a grand opportunity that proves that my dreams of becoming a professional dancer can come true. Also, since I started working in the corporate world, I did not know what else to do with my dance career. Since this opportunity has presented itself, I know that this is a chance to show how much I have to offer in the dance world.

What would you do with the $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest strategically, pay down a significant portion of my student loans, and support my family in achieving a debt-free future.
