Bio
Year on Team: 1st Year Member
Major: Psychology w/ Emphasis in Sports and Performance
Post-Graduation Goals: I hope to peruse my love of teaching in both the classroom & dance studio. I plan on building a family & traveling with them to experience the world God blessed us with.Â
Why did you chose GCU? I chose GCU after a perfect discover trip, on which I sat in on a dance practice & fell in love with the program. I love the community vibe GCU gives off and can't wait to be a part of it.
Dance experience that defines who you are as a dancer: No matter how difficult life gets, dance has been a consistency that I have counted on since I was 3 years old. It's my favorite way to express myself & release any emotions I'm feeling. Having a strong sisterhood with teammates is another major factor of my love for dance.
Hobbies and Interests: I love Disneyland, sushi, babysitting, traveling, hiking, spending time with friends/family & trying new things.
Role Model: My mom & Roberta Woods (my dance teacher, boss & friend)
Favorite Bible Verse: "Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laughs without fear of the future" Proverbs 31:25
Fun Fact About Me: I'm unreasonably afraid of needles & spiders.
