How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
My history major has helped me develop rigorous research skills and transformed me into a more well-rounded and detail-oriented writer. My dance pedagogy major has given me the opportunity to explore my role as an artist and discover how I can be an impactful dance instructor.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?
My most significant accomplishment at Gonzaga was when a piece I choreographed for the Student Choreography Concert was selected to open an event for the dance and leadership studies programs hosted by Dancing with the Stars pro/judge Derek Hough.
