Dancing is my joy, to cultivate joy and to experience it deeply. Apart from growing up in Pennsylvania, I traveled to Virginia to accomplish artistic and academic goals. Being in many creative spaces, not only for dance but also music, athletics and communities, I have allowed outlets of performance and physical feats to fuel my passion for the arts and movement. My abilities of mobility are the highest form of blessings I have received.
“Being presented with the Gus Giordano Scholarship for Excellence in Dance means so much to me! It is an honor to be recognized in the conservatory. I am extremely thankful to be representing this program and appreciative to my professors and previous teachers for helping me get to this point!”
