- I have been dancing at DanceSpace Performing Arts Academy for 7 years competing in all dances on their performance company team. At DanceSpace I've participated in Young Choreographers (YCS) 3 years in a row. This program allows young dancers to choreograph dances and teach their choreography to their peers. This program has taught me leadership skills, patience, how to work with others, and bonding with my peers. As a YCS choreographer I received two awards. In 2019 the Audience Choice Award and in 2022 I received the Directors Choice award.

-I also have been dancing on the Erie High School Varsity Team my Freshman, Sophomore and now by Junior year of high School. My Freshman year I received the Most Improved award.

-Being on both elite dance teams, a student taking AP courses and keeping a 3.5 GPA shows that I am dedicated to everything that I do. Having to juggle my schedule has taught me efficiency, time management and promptness.
