Dance and Cheerleader Experience:  I received my formal training in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and Pointe at That’s Entertainment Performance Company and the McClendon School of Dance beginning at the age of 3. In high school, I was a member of the Ebony Flames and danced at the football games and some basketball games. I was also Captain my junior year. In college, I was a member of the Dance Dawgs and selected as one of the Captains my 4th year. We danced for the men’s and women’s basketball teams-Go Bulldogs! I am also a Georgia Force Cheerleader!

Other life, scholastic or career accomplishments or experiences:  I was voted Most Dedicated and Most Outstanding Ebony Flame in high school! I managed to keep the HOPE Scholarship while I was in college and I made the Dean’s List a few times!
