I have been dancing since I was 2 and 1/2 years old. I am a military “brat”; so we have moved 4 times. I started taking dance classes at Turning Pointe Dance Academy (TPDA) in 2016. I have been a member of their competition dance team since 2017. I have previously taken dance classes at the Fort Bragg SKIES Unlimited, Alpha & Omega Dance Academy, and The Dance Collective.

My favorite styles of dance are ballet and contemporary.

In theater I have performed the roles of Ryan in High School Musical 3 (2017), the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland (2018), The Moon in The Addams Family (2019), the Dance Captain for The Little Mermaid (2021), and Joe Stoddard in Our Town (2023). Outside of dance, I love spending time with my family, baking, all sorts of crafts, doing theater, taking voice lessons, playing with my pets (I have 2 cats), and working on new dance tricks/techniques.

My future goals are to continue improving in dance, theater, and voice; ultimately, I would like to have a career that involves acting, dancing, and modeling. I also plan to study interior design.
