I’m a Lufkin native who grew up believing no dream was too big, and understood that hard work was the only way to achieve those dreams!

I began teaching dance at a local studio when I was only 12 years old, and started to develop my teaching and choreography business at 17. As Miss Texas’ Outstanding Teen 2014, I toured the state at 18 years old to talk about how good decision-making and achievements are directly correlated.

After high school I attended the University of Alabama, where I auditioned for The University of Alabama’s dance department—ranked in the U.S. top 20. I had the opportunity to both accept and award a dance scholarship each semester. I was also taught by distinguished educators from some of the most prestigious dance programs in the world.

I graduated from The University of Alabama after 3 ½ years with a degree in dance and a minor in nutrition. I moved to Orlando, Florida to work at Walt Disney World as a character performer, where I was cast in multiple coveted roles that varied every day. During all of this, I continued to travel back home to Lufkin, Texas to choreograph and teach young students in the community. With my help, these girls have achieved some of their highest scores and awards ever!

My aspirations have never changed; I’ve always wanted to be a professional dancer, and eventually share my love for the art of dance with younger generations by owning a dance studio in downtown Lufkin. My dream of dancing professionally came true as I danced down Main Street USA at Walt Disney World, and now, my goal of owning a studio has become a reality.
