Dance Experience:
When I was 4 years old my mom enrolled me in a tap and tumbling class and I fell in love with it. I’ve been dancing ever since and have trained in tap, jazz, ballet, modern, lyrical and hip hop. I also did competitive gymnastics for a number of years.
I was a member of the Notre Dame de Sion high school dance team for four years. During which time we won our state competition multiple times, and placed at nationals. I spent three years on the Loyola University Chicago Dance team, dancing at men’s basketball home games and other various events. This is my second year as a Luvabull, and I am so excited for all of the new experiences and challenges that lie ahead.

Most people don’t know this about me…
I am afraid of heights.
My most embarrassing moment was…
During a basketball game my sophomore year of college I was standing on the sideline and not paying attention to the game. One of the players from the opposing team passed the ball, no one caught it and it hit me right on the side of my face. The whole audience made a collective “ohhhhhh.” I had a giant red circle on my face from where the ball hit me. My team now uses it as a warning to the new girls about what not to do.

Dancing, traveling, learning, and experiencing as much as I can.
