What’s one of your most memorable dance moments?

The two most memorable moments are placing 5th in the world and going on tour with Micheal Flatley’s 2020 Feet of Flames tour in Taiwan.

What was the moment when you knew dance was a really important part of your life?

I knew from a very young age that dance is what I wanted to do. I did horseback riding, soccer, and aikido, but nothing ever stuck. I found dance and immediately fell in love.

How long have you been dancing?

I have been dancing for about 12 years

What keeps you going in those moments when you don’t feel motivated?

I look back and remind myself why I do what I do, and remember how much I love dancing.

What advice do you have to dancers both young and older who have dreams and goals around competing and show dancing?

Believe in yourself and never give up! No matter what you are going through when there’s a will there’s a way. Remember hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work, so it’s up to you. You have the power to do great things, don’t limit yourself.
