EARLIEST MEMORY OF DANCING: I never used to be able to clap to a beat of music, let alone dance in time!

IF I WEREN’T A DANCER… I’d be a snowboarder.

WHERE WE’VE SEEN YOU? On Facebook! I was also an extra on “Neighbours”!

THING YOU’LL MISS MOST ABOUT HOME: My family, friends and church.

LUCKY CHARMS OR RITUALS YOU DO BEFORE WALKING ON STAGE? Praying to the man upstairs.

WHAT STYLE DO YOU HOPE TO PICK OUT OF THE HAT? Hip hop, contemporary or lyrical.

HOW MUCH DANCE TRAINING HAVE YOU HAD, AND IN WHAT STYLES? I have had four years of training in jazz, contemporary, hip hop. Before that, I had never danced before!

DOES ANYONE ELSE IN YOUR FAMILY DANCE PROFESSIONALLY? A few of my aunties were dancers.

WHO WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MAKE PROUD OF YOU? I think that most people in my life are already proud of me for making it this far.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE YOUR WEAKNESSES IN THE COMPETITION? Salsa, ballroom and latin. Let’s hope I don’t get asked to do the running man – because I can’t do that either!

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE YOUR STRENGTHS IN THE COMPETITION? Perseverance and persistance.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE AUSTRALIA TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I dance because it’s what I’m called to do.
