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

Dance helps my body stay strong while building confidence, discipline, determination, and resilience. It reminds me to keep going, even when things feel challenging, and to celebrate every step of the journey. I love the friendships, the creativity, the way music comes to life through movement, and the memories made along the way. Dance has a way of bringing joy, inspiring growth, and helping me become the best version of myself.

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

Im inspired to keep dancing by the incredible dancers who have come before me, especially those who never gave up on their dreams. I looks up to dancers who work hard, stay kind, and continue to grow through every challenge. They remind me that success doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from dedication, perseverance, and believing in yourself.

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

The moment that has kept me going on my dance journey was finding out that I have spina bifida. At first, I was scared because I didn’t know what it would mean for my future or if I would still be able to dance. But I decided I wasn’t going to let it stop me from doing what I love. Dance makes me feel strong, happy, and confident. Every time I step onto the dance floor, I remember that I am stronger than my challenges. Even when things are hard, I keep working and doing what I love .
