Why do you think it’s important for young women to hold leadership roles?

Young women have always been told that we can’t be leaders. However, the opportunity to hold many leadership positions at Walker’s has given me confidence in my skills and helped me grow personally and communally for the organization I am a part of. I think that teaching young women leadership helps us break traditional gender stereotypes and boundaries so that women can bring innovative ideas to new groups.

What do you hope other students at Walker’s take away from your leadership on EWAC?

I hope other Walker’s students can see my love while leading teams. Whether cheering on other athletic teams, giving a standing ovation to actors and singers, or just yelling out compliments from across the dance studios, I want to bring joy and love to every position I have at Walker’s. But I find showing love during sports is essential because of my sometimes harsh past dance experience. I want to ensure every athlete is shown love and support. At the root of athletics is love and passion for your sport!

What are your favorite sports teams?

My favorite dance groups are Brent Street X Paris Cavanagh (featured on America’s Got Talent) and CDK (choreographed for a viral Gap commercial with Troye Sivan).

What is one fun fact about you that may surprise people?

I have worn the same bracelet every day for about four years.
