Dance became a big part of my life my senior year in High School after my best friend and I created our first dance crew together. During college I strived for dance to become a profession while working on my degree. The same year I received my associates degree I was accepted into the Motivating Excellence Program with Rhapsody James in LA where I got signed to Clear talent Group who till this day represents me as a dancer. I left to LA a few days after my graduation which is where I lived for a while before moving back home to CT to teach.

I didn’t like dance until I was 18. I made a promise to myself after I didn’t attend my Junior prom because I felt I was going to embarrass myself. Which is why during my senior year I while learn to dance. So I started learning from Koreans on YouTube and now the rest is history.
... I'm collecting "retro” games, more specifically, Nintendo 64.
