What is your dance/performance background:

I began dancing at 9 years old after seeing a local dance studio flyer, starting with a weekly jazz class. I proceeded to dance competitively for the next 8 years and then became a certified dance teacher. I launched my professional dance career at 18, performing at Calaway Amusement Park with Calaway Live Cast. I began dancing with the Roughnecks Drill Crew as the youngest rookie, continuing with them and later joining Calgary Stampeder Outriders.
What is your favourite part about being on the Drill Crew Dance Team?

My teammates! We have an amazing group of passionate dancers that are committed to cheering on and supporting our Calgary Roughnecks as well as each other. Every single one of us strives to entertain the fans with intense, hard-hitting choreography that requires perseverance and skill to synchronously look impressive as an entire team. Also props to our amazing coach Kalie who always makes us look good!
