Throughout high school, I had the opportunity to perform in roles such as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Arabian soloist in the Nutcracker, Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty, and in the musical "Once Upon a Mattress" as the dance captain. I also performed in many different festivals, conventions, and concerts all around the Dallas area. I even danced in Time Square in New York City!
