Why did you decide to audition to be a Laker Girl?
It's been a dream of mine to be a Laker Girl. The program is very classy and professional, so I wanted to be a part of that. Also, I've wanted to dance in the NBA and now I get to dance for the most well-known team in the NBA……the L.A. Lakers! To finally make this dance team is surreal…….I can't believe I did it!

Name the most inspirational person in your life?
Every person I have come across has made an impact on my life. So my answer is everyone who has made a positive impact.

Dancing, playing with friends, visiting the Barnyard Park where I got to feed animals and ride ponies.

If you could be in the Olympics – which sport would you like to compete in?
Definitely an equestrian sport – like a 3-day event.

Embarrassing moment a dancer?
Slipping and falling on stage, and knowing everyone saw me but having to act like nothing happened.

My BFF Kristina! She invited me to join her dance studio in 1st grade... she was my start in the dance world!

Best choreographer?
John Peters! :) oh and Wade Robson for sure!

What is the key to staying in dancing shape?
Diet! Not the I'm-starving-myself diet, but a healthy, protein and veggie-filled lifestyle diet. I try my best to stay within Paleo foods; lean proteins, veggies, fruits and nuts - nothing processed. So feeding your body the right foods and living an active lifestyle. Stretching is also important for dancers!
