What brought you to UNCSA?
UNCSA has been a dream of mine since I attended the Summer Dance Intensive at twelve years old. From that experience, I knew there was something incredibly special about this school and its community. I immediately felt at home. UNCSA is the only place where I am challenged, seen for my abilities, easily inspired, and where I feel supported and encouraged to grow without judgement. The extraordinary faculty here truly care and want to see me succeed in life and my art form.
What advice would you give to Prospective Students?
My best advice is do not compare yourself to others. I know that is easier said than done, but everyone’s journey is completely different and should never look the same. Focus on your own growth and always remember that you belong and do not have to be at the same place as someone else. You are here to constantly evolve and become to the most authentic version of yourself.
