Goals and interests

Career goal

After I receive my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance I would like to audition for talent agencies in order to work in the Entertainment Industry. I would also like to audition for Cirque due Soleil productions being that I have a strong background in Gymnastics. My ultimate dream job I would like to have is to perform on Broadway. I would also like to audition and be part of Travis Wall's Shaping Sound Dance Company. Being that I began my dance training at The Wooden Floor, which is a non-profit organization, I would definitely like to give back to my community and invest money in a dance studio for low income and under privileged students.

Graduate school interests

After receiving my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree I would like to explore and work in the Dance and Entertainment Industry. Because Grad School is very competitive, I want to gain as much experience and knowledge as I can before applying. I would like to receive my Master of Fine Arts Degree in Musical Theatre being that I have strong background in the arts. The schools that have caught my interest so far have been New York University, Oklahoma City University, and Syracuse College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Outside the classroom

Dancing, Tumbling, Running, Swimming, Bicycling, Music, Acting, Movies, Disneyland, Food!
