Bio
Year on Team: 1st Year Member
Major: Double Major in Communications and Justice Studies
Post-Graduation Goals: To dance as long as possible, and ultimately become a director/coordinator for the Humane Society or a SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
Favorite part of being a lope: GCU has allowed me to trust in God more than I ever thought possible. The environment this school devotes so much intention into creating encourages its students to value humility, integrity, and passion above all else.
Dance experience that defines who you are as a dancer: Throughout my 15 years training in classical ballet, performing the roles of “Snow Queen” and “Sugar Plum Fairy” in the Phoenix Children’s Hospital hematology/oncology department and at the Sun City West retirement community were the pivotal experiences responsible for fueling my drive to dance. Possessing the ability to bring hope, nostalgia, and excitement to entire communities is something I will never take for granted.
Hobbies and Interests: Playing the guitar, eating sushi, exploring the great outdoors, watching The Office, doing yoga, going to Bass Pro Shops, and anything to do with dogs.
Role Model: My incredible parents
Favorite Bible Verse: “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25
Fun Fact About Me: I prefer to drive stick shift!
