Advice for young Dancers: "Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life for the better.' Did you say those things? Sure, make a plan. Set a goal & work hard toward it, but every now and then, look around; Drink it all in because this is it, and it could all be gone tomorrow."
Favorite Magic Memory during your time as an OMD: Well, I hurt my ankle last season and was only able to dance in ONE playoff game. So, it's definitely that. That day, with the energy from the fans, the support from my teammates, it was one of those moments that truly took my breathe away.
10 years from now I see myself: Teaching, and coaching a high school dance team.
