Dance to express not impress. The best thing you can be is kind. Expect nothing, be grateful for everything.
Hi! I got involved with CYT in highschool and really enjoyed the time I got to participate in both classes and mainstage shows. Getting to develop a love of theater in Christian community was such a great experience. In addition to CYT I have participated in community theater in the valley and projects of friends and family. I love theater because it sits in the intersection of so many beautiful disciplines. At its best, it empowers the whole person of each perfomer and brings together communities. I am currently working as a 2nd grade aide at archway north phoenix and would like to a pursue a career in elementary/theater ed.

Almost nine years ago, I auditioned for my first show ever at CYT, and I discovered my love and passion for theater and specifically dance. Now, I am currently working towards an AFA in dance and, after that, a BFA in dance. I believe dance is such an incredible gift from God. It deserves to be studied, practiced, performed, and used for God's glory, and I plan to do just that and help others to do so as well. I have trained and am currently still training in modern, ballet, hip hop, jazz/musical theater jazz, contemporary, and tap. I am super excited and thankful to be back at CYT to teach the wonderful art that is dance!
