Your career goals:  As a dancer, I want to dance on a headliner’s tour, be in a few commercials (Gap would be ideal) and be in some music videos.

Favorite childhood memory:  Growing up with my siblings.  Now that we are all grown up and live in different places, it’s hard to get together.  So, just having them around all the time is my favorite memory and one that I truly miss.

Something interesting about you or your family others may not know: 
I was at my first dance competition and wouldn’t go on stage.  They literally shoved me out there and my mom had to hide because she thought if I saw her, I’d start crying and run off stage.  She said as soon as the music turned on, I became a different person and performed my heart out. I’ve loved the stage ever since.

Five things you would like to accomplish in this lifetime:
1. Be a backup dancer for a headliner’s tour
2. Have children
3. Become successful in my career – to the point where I don’t have to worry about money
4. Travel to Australia
5. Become fluent in Spanish

One word to describe yourself: Passionate

What is the first thing you would do after winning the lottery?  I’d probably pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, and then I’d buy a house in Saint Louis for my parents, so they could be closer to all of their children.

Interesting places you have visited: Bahrain

What is in your CD player right now? Pussycat Dolls

Something you feel very strongly about: Honesty.  You will gain respect by being honest and true to yourself, and respect is also something I value.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A dancer

If you could have any animal as a pet, what animal would you choose? A Koala Bear and a Yorkipoo

As a role model, what do you hope children will learn from you?  To never take a moment in life for granted.  Always try to be positive with your life and the opportunities/challenges that are thrown your way.  Every day is a gift, so make sure you treasure what has been given to you.
