Tell us about some of your recent accomplishments!
Recently, I’ve been thrilled to excel in rhythmic gymnastics, win awards for dance competitions, and collaborate with amazing brands as a model.
You’ve received several awards for rhythmic gymnastics and dance, including first place at The One Dance hip-hop competition. What advice would you give to other girls who want to compete and win?
The key to succeeding in competitions like The One Dance hip-hop competition is dedication and practice. My advice for aspiring competitors is to stay focused, practice consistently, and never give up on your dreams.
If you could only pick ONE art form you had to do for the next 5 years, what would you pick: Acting, modelling, dance, playing instruments or rhythmic gymnastics?
If I had to choose just one for the next 5 years, I would choose acting because I love showing my emotions. I love everything else–it’s just so hard to choose one, but if I had to pick one it would probably be acting. I love auditioning and sometimes I love callbacks because its like “Ooh I’m almost there!”
