What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What I love most about dancing is being on stage and getting to express myself through something I love. I love the feeling of performing, pushing myself, and being surrounded by my dance family. Dance is where I feel the most like me.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

There is no way to narrow it down to just one person. The people who inspire me the most are my family and my dance family. They have always believed in me, encouraged me, and reminded me to keep going, even when things got hard. They inspire me to work hard, stay strong, and never give up on something I love.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The moment that makes me the proudest is watching her get back on stage after everything she had been through. Seeing her dance again, doing what she loves, was a moment I’ll never forget. It showed just how strong, determined, and resilient she is.
