A typical day in my life includes…
dance, homework, singing, and food – lots of food.
I was born…
with the most amazing curly blonde hair that is both a blessing and a curse!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the pinkish, orange sunsets that look like an artist painted the sky.
I’m listening to…
Hamilton! It’s my favorite musical and “I’m not giving away my shot!”
My family…
means the world to me. They are my biggest fans and the loudest cheering section ever.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Katherine Goble (Johnson). She is one of the first African-American mathematicians who calculated for NASA. She is one of my heroes. It would be so cool to hear about her journey.
One thing I cannot live without…
music! As a singer and dancer, music is not just part of my life, it is my form of expression.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
on Broadway!
I’m inspired by…
serving others. When I have the opportunity to volunteer in the community, I am so inspired by others from all walks of life giving back too!
The one person who motivates me is…
my dad. He is the hardest working person I know. He always puts my family first and encourages me to reach a little higher, works a little harder, and dream a little bigger.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
inequality. I am passionate about teaching others how we can love and respect each other even when we don’t share the same background, thoughts, or beliefs.
The perfect day would be…
spent in New York City at Rockefeller Center! I can’t wait to scream “Live From New York, It’s Saturday Night!!”
My first job was…
a line leader in Kindergarten.
My favorite escape…
is to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Platform 9 ¾’s here I come.
My life…
is full of new adventures.
Always…
create your own path! Focus on living your best life. Stepping out of our comfort zones is the only way we grow.
I’m currently working on…
a Sscience project in genetics, developing my diversity campaign @reach_4_it, and my turnout in dance.
Always…
be the Light.
Never…
let anyone tell you who you are, live your truth!
Favorite Quote…
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
Biggest Dream…
is to become an Entertainer! I feel such an amazing rush when I perform.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
squeaky Styrofoam containers- EKK! They make my ears tingle just thinking about it.
Summarize yourself in one sentence…
what makes me different is what makes me beautiful!
