My dance journey started at Arizona State University, where I joined the ASU Dance Team.

That experience laid the foundation for everything that came next, including auditioning for my first pro team, the Phoenix Suns. I didn't make it the first time.

Instead of walking away, I spent the next year building my own roadmap and figuring out exactly what it takes to succeed. A year later, I made the team.

After one season with the Suns, I didn't make it back, but that setback led me straight to the Golden State Warriors, where I danced for seven seasons and served as an Assistant Coach for three. I know firsthand what it feels like to be on both sides of the journey, the struggle, the setbacks, and the breakthrough.

That college experience at ASU was where it all began for me, and I know how pivotal that time is for dancers who are dreaming bigger. That is exactly why I am building out the College Game Day Prep program at TCC, and why I am looking for college dancers and recent alumni who want to pour back into the next generation.

You do not have to have it all figured out. You just have to have lived it, and be willing to share what you know.

If you are a current college dancer or recent alumni who is passionate about mentorship, growth, and helping other dancers succeed, I would love for you to be a part of what we are building.

Your experience matters. Let's put it to work.
