Something I wish I knew as a Freshman: I wish I had known as a freshman in college that it's okay to feel lost and to not know yourself. Had I relaxed and let myself grow without pressuring myself to figure it all out I would've had a clearer frame of mind.

Why did you become an ambassador? I became an ambassador because I wanted to be more involved in my program. I want to connect with others on campus and bring more visibility to our amazing Dance program.

What is your favorite memory from your time at UNT? Definitely all the time spent with my friends rehearsing, taking class together and going on occasional Dutch Bros. trips.

How do you plan to use your degree? I want to go into the commercial dance world, and hopefully get jobs back up dancing, being in music videos and getting to experience traveling with Dance.
