Q1WHAT HAS DEDICATING YOURSELF TO MOVEMENT TAUGHT YOU ABOUT YOURSELF THAT NOTHING ELSE COULD?
Dance has taught me countless life lessons, but more than anything, it has saved me. That might sound cliché, but it's the truest thing I can say. Dance has given me purpose through every stage of my life. It introduced me to a world of art, creativity, and freelance work that I can't imagine living without. It has shaped the way I see the world. It's taught me how to connect with music, appreciate fashion, find beauty in everyday moments, and develop a creative eye that extends far beyond the studio. It's influenced the way I experience concerts, clubs, conversations, laughter with friends, and even the way I tell stories. Dance has taught me resilience, discipline, and confidence, but it has also taught me who I am. I truly believe I wouldn't be the same person without it, and for that, I'll always be grateful.
Q2YOUR WORK WITH ARTISTS LIKE ADDISON RAE AND SLAYYYTER HAS INTRODUCED YOU TO NEW AUDIENCES. BEYOND THOSE PERFORMANCES, WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE COME TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
Honestly, I just hope people can tell how ridiculously happy I am to be there. Getting to work with artists like Addison Rae and Slayyyter—women who have such a strong vision for their artistry—is incredibly inspiring. Every time I step on stage or on set, I feel lucky to be part of something that creative. I hope what comes across isn't just that I can hit the choreography, but that I'm bringing my own personality and artistry to it, too. The best compliment I could get is that people recognize me as an individual, not just another dancer in the room. At the end of the day, I'm just grateful to have a creative voice, the freedom to use it, and to be surrounded by people who encourage that.

Q3Where have you been looking for inspiration outside of your medium?
Right now, I'm most inspired by artists, dancers, and creative directors who are unapologetically themselves. In a world where it's so easy to follow trends or blend in, I really admire the people who are creating work that's unmistakably their own. That kind of authenticity always stands out. Fashion is another huge source of inspiration for me because it's such a personal form of identity and self-expression. And honestly, photography is just so damn cool. I love the composition, the styling, and the way a single image can define an entire era or aesthetic. I'm constantly pulling inspiration from all of it.
Q4If you could introduce our readers to one artist, who would it be?
An artist who is always inspiring me is Liv Cav. She's such a tank and an absolute beast.
