What is one of your favorite moments from your time with the Department of Dance?
Meeting the people I had classes with online in person and finally being able to dance with them in person! Creating with other dancers in person and seeing how their movement and ideas from zoom were showcased in real life was also amazing! One of my favorite moments was having the opportunity to create a dance film during the COVID-19 pandemic with my dance peers.

After graduation, I plan to continue to work for the University of Washington Athletics, working alongside the sport-dietitians for UW football and Olympic sports teams. I plan to also apply to a master's program to become a Sports Dietitian in the future.
