What is the best thing about being back in person? .
I feel as though space is a necessity when it comes to dance in general. Energy is more present among my peers because we are able to fuel each other up. When online seemed unreal and the motivation to put in effort wasn’t there. I love being around my friends to create more of a connection.
What is your favorite thing about LACHSA right now?
My favorite thing would be leaving, just kidding. I like the inclusive environment where everyone has something special about them, being surrounded by passionate people helps encourage me to do better.
What are your goals for this year as a Dance Major?
Honestly finishing out the year on a strong note, because my body is breaking down on me, 18 ages you. On a real note, I have injuries that need to heal and i’m looking forward for that happening but until then i’m pushing through until the end!
What is something you’re looking forward to experiencing this year as a Dance major?
After surgery, moving in general was my main goal because I thought that wasn’t a possibility. However I am now dancing again and that is the biggest achievement and experience this year.
"Life will never go the way you planned and things will only get harder with the responsibilities and independence it takes being a young adult. I would say don’t try to grow up so fast because you have your whole adult life to do adult things and it is important to cherish your childhood because you will always feel like a kid."

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your freshman self?
Life will never go the way you planned and things will only get harder with the responsibilities and independence it takes being a young adult.
