Dance is my source of self-fulfillment, physical expression, and freedom. My aim as a performer is too engage the audience in my
self expression and pass on my energy, so they too can walk away with a sense of accomplishment or inspiration. This sense of
accomplishment is what pushes me to stay active in dance. With each obstacle I try to collect information that composes a way to
achieve my many goals including; growing as an artist, staying involved mentally and physically, and discovering new techniques.
