Academic Statement


After graduating in 2023 with a weighted GPA of 3.9 and as an honor roll student, I plan to attend a college majoring in dance or joining a professional dance company. Throughout my training with the Louisville Ballet school I have had many performance opportunities such as: Being a part of The Brown-Forman Nutcracker, working with renowned choreographers and many roles in the schools' seasonal productions.  I have attended and performed at several Regional/National dance conventions with The Louisville Ballet Youth Ensemble. I have received several offers to study in year round and summer dance programs such as : Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Kansas City Ballet, Joffrey Ballet School, Nashville Ballet, BalletMet, and many others. In my future after graduating I plan to achieve a BFA in performance dance or receive a contract from a professional dance company.
