What do you enjoy most about performing?
The feeling I get when I look up into the crowd and see the smiles on people's faces is what I enjoy most while performing. Dancing brings out my passion. It is a feeling of pure joy having the opportunity to do what I love while also entertaining the crowd.

What is your dancing background?
I was a competitive dancer from ages 4 to 18 at four different studios, ending at Expressenz Dance Center. I competed all across the United States. I am technically trained in all styles of dance. I was on Ball State's Code Red Dance Team for four years.

Outside of dancing, what are your hobbies and interests?
Outside of dance, I enjoy exercising, especially running long distance. I love adventurous traveling and creating videos from those travels with my GoPro!

What's one interesting fact about you?
I didn't crawl like a normal baby, I actually scooted around, so my grandpa started calling me Scooter. It is a nickname that still likes to creep back into my life.

What is the best thing about Indiana fans?
The best thing about Indiana fans is the passion they have for their home teams. Win or lose, you can always count on Hoosiers to root for their teams, especially the Pacers!

If you could be a backup dancer for one musical artist, who would it be and why?
I am obsessed with Sam Smith! As soon as he released his tour in the United States, I drove over five hours to see him. I would die to be his first backup dancer because you cannot listen to his music without moving your body. Being able to dance to his soulful and pure music would be unreal.

Do you have any pets?
I have a dog named Gus! He's a fluffy, white cavachon!
