What are 3 things you’re passionate about?

• Authentic self-expression

• Inclusivity and love for each other

• Challenging myself and others to grow and move forward

What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you as a person?

I am actually an über-introvert and barely do anything outside of the house. I enjoy time with myself and my loved ones so much more than going out on the town.

Where did your initial inspiration come from, and what kept you wanting to pursue growth in the industry?

My initial inspiration came from my own experience as a str*pper (club dancer or whatever else you’d like to use) while I was still in university. I saw so much of the world open up as I worked towards my goals and became financially stable. I also learned so much about people and myself, grew confidence, and was able to explore my sensual expression. Even as I transitioned out of the club, I knew I wanted to continue pursuing dance in some capacity and sharing the craft and art of sensual expression.
