How has your experience in the College of Fine Arts prepared you for your next step?

The College of Fine Arts gave me the opportunity to explore different interests within thearts. I worked as a lighting assistant for dance

 classes, helped with social media promotion and served as the tech liaison for our capstone shows. Those experiences expanded my skill set and prepared me to succeed as a multifaceted dancer in the professional world. 

What has been a highlight or defining moment during your time at TCU? 
One highlight of my time at TCU was our senior trip to New York City. It was an incredible experience where I learned valuable lessons about sustaining a professional dance career while celebrating four years of hard work with my cohort. 

What are your plans after graduation, and what are you most excited about next? 
After graduation, I plan to pursue a professional dance career and continue sharing my love of art with others. I am especially excited to create supportive spaces like Erma Lowe in the professional world. The School for Classical & Contemporary Dance is filled with love and support, and I hope to carry that energy forward in my career.
