After my time at Xplosive Dance Academy, I continued my dance training at a college level. I go Purchase College Conservatory of Dance working to get my Bachelor of Fine Arts in May 2024. I have been part of works by Martha Graham and Bill T Jones. I have been a part of, and performed at the Earl Mosely summer intensive as well as Gallim’s Dance Company’s summer intensive. As of right now I am working on creating my own work/piece called “For You For Me For You” that will be performed by 5 dancers in April.
