I have participated in world-renowned opportunities such as two consecutive Hot Chocolate Nutcracker’s which includes Debbie Allen’s Dance Academy winter seasons 2021-2022. I also danced abroad in Germany with Pilobolus for their winter Shadowland tour in 2023, and I opened for a World of Dance event in California with the Mob HQ Dance Crew summer of 2021.

Stepping outside of Mississippi to further my career as a dancer, teacher, and artist has shown me reasons to become a pioneer in Mississippi. There are a plethora of styles and opportunities we are not presented with here in MS. I feel as though I am part of the change I want to see happen for our state, and the world in general of course. However, home is where the heart is. Working for The Gloster Arts Project here in Mississippi has awakened my heart to reasons why serving this community is worth it.
