WHAT IS YOUR DANCING BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE? I grew up dancing at Columbia Performing Arts Centre in Columbia, Missouri. We traveled the country for conventions and trained mainly in ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary. Along with studio dance, I also danced for my high school dance team. Following high school, I continued dancing at Texas Christian University for four years as a TCU Showgirl. I had the opportunity to be a captain my junior and senior year, as well as dance at the College Football National Championship!! I have also been a National Dance Alliance staff member/ choreographer for 5 years.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO AUDITION FOR DCC? My sister Caroline completed her fifth season as a DCC in 2023. I grew up always feeling that I was in her shadow, so I decided to go to a different college than she did to make my own path. However, choosing a school about 45 minutes away from Dallas, I was able to see the love Caroline had for this organization and all the girls within. Each girl is so driven in life, and I knew I wanted to surround my years following college with a group of people like them and continue doing what I love most.
PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: I received recognition as a Columbia Business Time Magazine’s 20 Under 20 when I was 19 years old. It recognized me as a leader among my peers and helped me realize that my standard of excellence does not stop there. I was able to understand that there is great responsibility as an inspiring leader which motivated a lot of my leadership throughout TCU in the business school, sorority, and dance team. By being recognized at a young age, I now have a high bar to clear as I continue towards working on my leadership…. AND more recently… my proudest accomplishment has been making this team!
