I don't think a lot of people really understand the commitment it takes to being a character that an actor in Hollywood would take to approaching a role that they're doing.

I will push myself in different ventures that I believe will make me a better artist, dancer and person.

Different mentors throughout my life have supported and guided me to remember that I do have the strength, courage and talent to do whatever I want to do.

I know I will never let myself be complacent in life.

I know that most of the time I have to work overtime to do everything that I want to.

Ballet found me. I was discovered by a teacher in middle school. I always danced, my whole life. I never had any training, never was exposed to seeing dance, but I always had something inside of me.

I try my best to really think about things before I react and respond.
