Bio
Post-Graduation Goals: Something in public relations or event planning.
Favorite part of being a Lope: I love the Christian environment and the amazing school spirit of GCU. I am so excited to be a part of the dance team & be on the front line of the GCU school spirit, performing with my sisters.
Dance Experience that defines who you are as a dancer: Dance has allowed me to have many exciting experiences: performing on two shows of Dance Moms, winning multiple national titles, performing at major sports events and taking master classes in New York and LA. In high school, I was a part of the first pom line and lead the team the following year as captain. I am thrilled to be dancing on the GCU dance team this year!
Hobbies and Interests: I love exploring new coffee shops and getting good shopping deals!!
Role Model: My mom because she is so humbling, selfless and Godly. She inspires me to be the best I can be and encourages me always. She is my best friend. I hope to be like her!
Favorite Bible Verse: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” Romans 12:12
Fun Fact About Me: I was on the show Cake Boss and had a few speaking parts.
