VP of Events

As VP of Events, I am thrilled to bring my passion for dance to DWH's leadership team. Currently a high school freshman, I began my dance journey at just three years old and now train and compete in ballet and contemporary. Over the years, dance has shaped who I am, teaching me the value of discipline, the drive for constant self-improvement, and the joy of expressing myself through movement. Having received so much from this art form, my goal is to give these same gifts back to our community by creating impactful, inspiring events that show how everyone can bring dance into their lives.
