Hi, I live in Lansing, Illinois. I attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and now I'm a Project Manager. My nickname is "E."

Dance experience

My dance background is comprised of modern, jazz, ballet, hip hop and liturgical praise dance. I have been dancing for over 20 years. I danced for my high school's pom squad for four years and the stage dance performance group for 3 years.

I danced with the New Life Performance Company for 10 plus years under the direction of the late great Anthony Hollins. I was also a member of the UIC Dancing Flames for 3 years.

During the off season, I have been an elite dancer for Endure Dance productions directed and choreographed by our very own Chicago Luvabulls choreographer. I am looking forward to another great season as a Luvabull.

Lifetime goal

To live a healthy and blessed life, be happy and successful in all that I set out to do and one day to have a beautiful family of my own.

Three words that describe me are
