1. How do you describe yourself as an artist?
Best way for me to describe myself as an artist is a Movement Scientist. I’ve always been fascinated by what our body is capable of and could never stick to one thing! Which is why I got good at different styles of dance and acrobats, just so I can mix it all together to create my own one of a kind movement! 

2. What's the best part of your job?
The best part of my job is simply that it’s so physical! Not only do I get to turn my body into a canvas I get a workout while doing it.

3. What's the best advice that you can give to someone who is exploring your career?
I have two pieces of advice.
1. GET INVOLVED! Find people in your area or events to go to but meet others in the dance world! It’ll help you and make your journey more fun!
2. Never stop Learning! It can get hard at one point when you’re doing it full time but never stop learning new moves or creating your own!

4. What does socializing with purpose mean to you?
I socialize with purpose by really trying to get people to follow their own passions. I want people to learn to be more self-aware so that they know what passion of theirs to follow and pursue. Following your passion is always difficult but is consistently satisfying!
