Interesting Facts about yourself?
I love teaching dance to younger, aspiring dancers. I started choreographing routines at the age of ten and self-choreographed my talent that I will be performing this week. I was selected as a performer with Dance the Magic in Disney World on my thirteen-birthday last October and I received my first National Grand Championship at the age of 6. I absolutely LOVE volunteering with Operation Homefront, Minot Air Force Base & Boys and Girls Club of America. My goal is to one day dance next to the amazing Misty Copeland!
What social issue, other than your CSI (operation homefront), will have the greatest impact on your generation and why?
One social issue that will have the greatest impact on my generation is the use of social media in a negative perspective. Social media when used poorly can be harmful to all generations because it can encourage bullying, constant comparison, limiting in-personal communications and can lead to increase feeling of depression, anxiety, poor body image and loneliness.
