What is your dance/performance background? I grew up competitive dancing since I was 3. I took my training to Vancouver, where I trained for 2 years in a pre-professional dance program, and now I dance for the Calgary Roughnecks Drill Crew and Calgary Stampeders Outriders as well.

What is your favourite part about being on the Drill Crew Dance Team? My favourite part of Drill Crew is being around people that feel like family and the feeling of standing in the tunnel before running out to dance.

What song gets you pumped up on game days? Will forever and always be “Breaking Dishes” by Rihanna

What is your favourite style of dance? Hip Hop and Jazz

What’s one thing you cannot live without? Something I would not be able to live without is my Summer Fridays chapstick. It has to be the pink sugar scent!
