How and why did you become a professional dancer?

“I became a professional dancer thanks to the people who supported me throughout my journey. Dance brings together everything I am passionate about and gives me purpose every day. I feel incredibly grateful to end each day tired, knowing I spent it doing what I love.”
What is it about NDT that inspires, challenges, and deepens your artistry?

“I grew up admiring NDT. As a child, I attended performances and was deeply moved by the work and the dancers. It made me want to create the same impact on others. I am inspired by NDT’s constant drive to evolve, push boundaries, take risks, and explore new directions. What I admire most is its strong sense of community and the way everyone works together as one, to create something greater than the individual.”
What do you hope to bring to the audience as an artist?

“I want to give back to audiences what they have given me. Performing is about creating a genuine connection and offering people something they may need in that moment. I hope to create an experience that resonates strongly enough to stay with them and draw them back again, because in my opinion that is what good art does it makes you want to return.”
