“I love the smiles on the audience’s faces and the enthusiastic applause during my performances.”

How does dance have a positive impact on your life?

Being able to move my body in low and high impact training situations keeps me fit and ready for exciting opportunities. I love that, through my dance, acrobatic, and aerial training, I have great body awareness which helps in modeling as well as acting!

How do you want to use dance to make a positive influence on your community?

I have been a volunteer in my community since I was 6 years old, and [I] have performed at several Gala’s, with 2 Mayors of Las Vegas, Rita Moreno, Paula Abdul, Jim Carrey, Terry Fator, and many others. These have been special moments in my early career as an entertainer. I love the smiles on the audience’s faces and the enthusiastic applause during my performances. This is how I know, even for that brief moment, I have left them with pure JOY!  I am Vegas Strong!
