Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile! While dance is my first passion (watch my video below), I love to learn and to help others; I'm all about being a servant leader. I'm a well balanced student who manages a job, a competition dance team, and a rigorous school curriculum, just to name a few. I have won community service, school service and citizenship awards. I speak fluent Spanish. I'm captain on the Varsity Track and Cheer squads. I'll engineer for exercise energy conservation systems and practice dance therapy in aid to addiction recovery. COOL FACT: I have spatial-sequence synesthesia.
