I started dancing at 3. I knew then I wanted to dance for the rest of my life. I absolutely fell in love with dance. I started competing in the second grade. I work hard, and I love competing.

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

I have faced things as a child, and I have learned to just dance my way through. I have learned to turn to dance through hard obstacles. It is truly my go-to.

I have danced for elderly groups. We do book drives. I have shown the art of dance to my schools and other schools as well. I love to show others that dance is such a beautiful thing.
