What should we know about you?
I absolutely love all things dance! I've been dancing for 9 years. I'm trained in all genres of dance. My favorite genres are contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop. I love talking about the benefits mentally and physically that dance has helped me with.

Tell us about a proud achievement in dance and why it was so special to you:
I was overjoyed when I attended Dupree National Competition and was the only dancer selected for a $1000 scholarship with Studio School College in LA. This was a big achievement for me. I felt like all my hours of hard work in dance was recognized and rewarded.

What has been your favorite competition to travel to?
Definitely Dupree Nationals. It felt like a family atmosphere, everyone was so welcoming. The teachers made you feel comfortable and inspired. I loved their conventions the most. It was a safe space for every dancer.

What has been the hardest thing about dance and how have you gotten through it?
Not comparing myself to other dancers and finding my own individuality. My own uniqueness and strengths helped me realize who I am as a dancer and how much I am thankful for the ability and skill that God has given me.

How is your school different from your studio?
I love both Teams. On my school team, I get to represent my school, as well as make high school memories with my dance sisters and brothers by performing at pep-rally’s and football games. At my studio it feels like a home. I get to train in all different genre’s and develop my dance skills as an individual.

What pageants have you been in and what is one overall thing you've learned from competing?
I’ve been in the Miss Coastal Christmas pageant. I learned how to represent myself through the community and how to express my beauty and my self-worth.

What is your favorite experience from pageants?
Making friends with the other contestants and cheering each other on.

Why did you choose Robert Kelly for your dance portraits? What did you love most about it?
Robert Kelley is known for his amazing dance photography. He travels all around the world and shoots amazing dancers. He’s been in this industry for years. I was very nervous to work with a well-known photographer, but I did warm up to him. It definitely put me on my toes and challenged me to poses I’ve never done before. My favorite part is receiving the finished product!

What has been a favorite volunteer activity and why?
I love to volunteer to help my school teachers. Right before the first day of school, I help my teachers organize their classrooms, deep clean when needed, and organize their supplies.

​What else should we know about you?
I'm also a Disney fanatic. Disney brings so much joy to millions of people and I just happen to be one of them.

Tell us all about why the following are your favorites in Disney:
 I love all the Theme Parks
Food: I love to eat sushi from Epcot
Ride: Splash mountain
Character: Moana
Parade: Disney Cavalcade
Place to Stay: Port Orleans was adorable. It had so much charm.
"Other" thing to do: I love to watch the firework shows at the end of the day.

What has been your biggest surprise in Disney?
My parents surprised me with a Dinner show called the “Hoop de doo Revue” and it was so delicious and the show was absolutely amazing and hilarious to watch.

What inspiring things about you does your nomination not cover?
One thing I would like to add to my nomination is I find my greatest joy in helping others. Friendship is a very important thing to me.

Share with us about a time you've helped someone in need and what it meant to you:
I helped a friend get out of a dangerous situation. It showed that I was the bigger person because I chose to not stand around and watch but to actually be voiceful to help a friend in need.

If you were to present a topic to a group of your peers, what would it be and why?
I'm an advocate for anti-bullying! Bullying stops us Teens from being who we want to be and prevents us from expressing ourselves freely. I encourage Teens to speak up! Do not feel alone. We are here together, and you matter.

What is the hardest thing you have ever accomplished, and how did you do it?
Driving! You have to not only worry about yourself but worry about all the other drivers on the road. People drive crazy!

What advice would you give to someone who wants to be where you are today?
 Keep working hard towards your dreams. Keep pushing yourself past your limits.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years/what are your plans?
 I see myself at the University of Central Florida pursuing my dreams to be a veterinarian but also to experience dance opportunities in Orlando.

What is your favorite activity or pastime that was not in your nomination?
Horseback riding!

Do you have a hidden talent? What is it?
I can power tumble and flip.

3 Things on your bucket list:
*To fly on an airplane
*Visit Hawaii
*Go to a music concert

Who do you find inspiring?
 Misty Copeland

What about you inspires others/why do you think you are inspiring?
I like to stay positive. I try to make the best out of every situation. I am very passionate and committed to anything I put my mind to.

Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
I am a part of the Choreography crew on my Highschool Dance Team. I get to make up pep-rally and football performances for my Team. It’s such an honor and so much fun seeing the finished product.
