Dreams really can come true!

The first time I saw The Lion King at 16 years old, I made a promise to myself: one day, I would be on that stage. From that moment on, I dedicated myself to preparing for this. Despite missed audition opportunities, prioritizing my college education, living through a pandemic, and experiencing so many incredible blessings along the way, I never let go of this dream.

I am beyond overjoyed to announce that I will be making my BROADWAY DEBUT as the Lead Gazelle in Disney’s THE LION KING.

Words alone can’t express how hard I’ve worked for this moment or how I was 100% sure that it would happen!

To everyone who has supported me, thank you for holding me down while lifting me up. To every teacher, mentor, choreographer, and peer who poured into me, thank you for helping me become the artist I am today. And to myself… thank you for believing, persevering, and continuing to show up, even when the path ahead wasn’t clear.

To my new family in the Pridelands, thank you for welcoming me with such warmth and kindness. It is an honor to join this extraordinary company, and I promise to give you my very best and make you all proud!

And to my agent, @freshtalentgroup . You know better than almost anyone what this moment means to me. As a concert dancer who has worked in the commercial dance world for the past six years, there were times when I questioned where I belonged. Whenever doubt crept in, you helped me refocus, reminded me of my purpose, and always help me find a way forward. I love you immensely. WE MADE IT TO BROADWAY. 😭

The 16yr old child who sat in that audience and dared to dream is so proud ✨🫶🏾

UPDATE/DUMP pt.2 I MOVED TO NYC!!

As you all just recently found out, I moved from Nashville to LA, BUT the universe had different plans for me!! ✨ I’m now living the busy life of a hard working New Yorker 😎 the month I’ve spent here has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I’m so proud of myself for persevering through it all and rising to the occasion (while continuing to raise the bar).

So far I’ve reconnected with my amazing long distance friends and made new ones as well. I’m so excited to begin this new journey with yall 😘😘😘

My next update will be THE BIGGEST achievement of my career (so far). I’m looking forward to sharing this news with everyone who has/is supporting me in all areas.

Stay tuned! Part 3 coming SOONish ✨🫶🏾

I MOVED AWAY FROM NASHVILLE 2 MONTHS AGO!
*a life update/dump*

In May I decided to pack 3 bags and move to LA to continue chasing my dreams as a dancer. While I was there I also hopped back on tour with the great @lordhuron . This last run was one of the best. Thank you to the whole team for being so kind, supportive, and inspiring. ⚡️

For 6 years I taught dance in Nashville while juggling the ups and downs of dancing professionally in the commercial world…. Long story short, it was draining me 😮‍💨 (even though I do love my students dearly)

There were so many times where I wanted to give up, but I leaned on my community/therapist and KEPT GOING!

I don’t want to yap for too long on here, but moral of the story is; you never know what’s around the corner, so don’t count yourself out too soon. Take a chance on YOU!!!!

EVEN BIGGER LIFE UPDATE COMING SOONish ✨🫶🏾
