Having found a love for dance movements during my pre-school years, I hope to keep progressing towards becoming more and more well-rounded in all areas of dance. Ever since I heard "Jump Jump" by CrisCros, I fell in love with Hip Hop. The beat, the rhythm, everything about the culture that I've learned has inspired me to share this culture with the community. For the longest time, I've always felt that God has given me the talent to dance, but I always pondered why. In what way can I serve with the talents I've been given? And when I was given the opportunity to join FST, I knew it was the purpose of my talent... to give back to the community through a culture I've loved since I was still in elementary school; to give back to a culture that took me under it's wing and has given me so much.

It's been 8 years since I've been bgirling and I can still remember my first battle at Master the Art 2005; that whole year I was battle hungry, even going out of state to battles in Fort Wayne, IN. My only hopes are to continue to keep growing and giving back to the community. I had to take a break due to school, but this desire to go back to my roots was always there. Inspired every day by my crew of such down-to-earth, optimistic, original and insanely artistic peeps, I have found a reason to keep going strong.
