What inspired you to become a dancer?
"When I was younger, I wanted to be in musical theater and on Broadway, which is still a goal of mine. As a child, I remember saying to my mom with stars in my eyes, 'If I am going to be famous and change the world, I have to start taking some lessons!' I was enrolled into theater and quickly became interested in the dance aspect of the arts. In musical theater, they say you have to learn how to sing, dance, and act. It's about being the triple threat, so I had to learn how to dance. I also competed in various dance competition circuits. Through those circuits, I had the opportunity to train in LA with Travis Wall from 'So You Think You Can Dance' and Maddy Ziegler from 'Dance Moms.' While in LA, I also performed in a benefit show for the Dizzy Feet Foundation. Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Paula Abdul were just a few of the accomplished dancers involved. Those experiences led me to want to pursue dance as a career and soon after I was accepted to the University of the Arts which was just another amazing milestone in my dance career."
