  After graduating high school, she then traveled to Los Angeles, California, on a year long scholarship at the Edge Performing Arts Center. Candidates traveled from all over the world to audition and she was one of the 20 selected. They taught you everything you needed to know about the business, from casting calls to learning how to stand out from the rest. She trained with some of the best choreographers in the city. A few include Mandy Moore from SYTYCD, Helene Phillips, Michael Rooney, Marguerite Derricks, Terri Best, Adam Parson, Kennis Marquis, and Kevin Maher. She then signed a contract with Go2Talent Agency and started working as a professional dancer. She has danced in music videos, TV pilots, and many live stage shows. She toured through Mexico on the Il Circo tour, danced behind Peaches at the Orpheum Theatre, and worked with choreographers such as Dave Scott and Tyce Diorio, who can be seen on SYTYCD.
