I was born in Houston, Texas and moved to Georgia when I was 4 years old. I have been dancing for almost 14 years and I have been with Shiv’s Institute of Dance for almost 7 years. I graduated from Lambert High School in Class of 2019 and I am going to Georgia State University in the fall. I am also on the Georgia Tech Bhangra dance team. Dance has always been my passion and my drive. It’s absolutely amazing to be able to perform for an audience. There’s no feeling quite like it!
