What made you want to dance at the University of Minnesota? I knew when I decided to come to the U that I wanted to be a part of something great, and this is no exception. It's such an honor to be able to represent the University of Minnesota.
When/where did you first start dancing? I began dancing at the age of 3 at Butterfield Gallerie of Dance
What's something that most people don't know about you? I love to bake!
What non-dance accomplishment are you most proud of? I'm very proud of my academic accomplishments, including being accepted into the Carlson School of Management.
What do you like to do when you aren't dancing? I'm a movie guru. I love watching movies with my friends and just relaxing.
What is your favorite memory of this year's team? There is nothing better than taking the floor at nationals. The feeling is indescribable. The roar of the crowd gives me the chills. It's amazing knowing that your parents, fellow Spirit Squad members, and people you don't even know are there supporting the team!
Do you have any tips for high school dancers who want to continue on in college? Never settle. Collegiate dancing is different from high school. It pushes you in ways you couldn't imagine. The more you push yourself to grow and improve, the more prepared you'll be.
