Here is her Artist Statement:
For my entire life, dance has been my everything. It fuels my joy, ambition, love, and especially hope. Using movement to create stories and emotions gives me an inner peace and optimistic outlook on all aspects of life. In this particular peice, the music inspired me to choreograph to generate an uplifting feeling that displays my happiness and my unending inspiration, even in more trying times. I'm very proud of my creation, and when I veiw it it makes me grateful for my current skills, and incredibly hopeful for what the future brings.
