What I'm doing now: I am going into my senior year at the University @ Buffalo as a BFA Dance Major with a concentration in Performance. I am also a part of the dance company in residence at School call the Zodiaque Dance Company.

Comments: NYSSSA influenced me in ways so deep that I don't even have the words for how it did. I know that I would not feel that way I do right now about myself and the world of dance if it weren't for the NYSSSA school of dance and Carolyn Adams.

: NYSSSA helped me refine my craft. It gave me the directive needed to succeed in a difficult profession by providing a wealth of knowledge, opportunities, & connections. Years later, many NYSSSA friends reappear in the NYC dance scene.
