Favorite Mason Memory: As a member of the GMU dance company, we have several opportunities to perform onstage on campus, but I’ll never forget the first time the company was asked to perform on the Millennium Stage in the Kennedy Center. It’s always been a dream of mine to perform in such a highly esteemed venue and it was through Mason that this dream came true.
Plans: Attend audition after audition, but hoping to find a job in a professional modern dance company while still being able to utilize my minor as a wedding planner as well.
Why Did You Choose Mason: Mason was THE perfect fit. While looking for schools as a senior in high school, I was convinced I only wanted to attend a conservatory for a more intense study of dance. However, I couldn’t be happier at Mason. I didn’t have to compromise my academics and I am receiving a more diverse dance training from Mason than any other school could have provided me.
You’re parents must be so proud of you!
