The Covenant Journey


I auditioned for the musical The Covenant Journey in the spring and will be going to Seoul, South Korea this summer to learn the show. It is a Korean company who has produced an original play about a young girl who learns how to face the hardships in her life through the story of Joseph. I was praying for an opportunity for musical theater training and was ecstatic when I got accepted for the ensemble. The first month I am in Korea I will be training in singing, acting, and dance classes. Once we learn the show, we will come back to perform in NYC, Phili, and D.C. You can go to www.thecovenantjourney.com for more information. I'm excited to join this adventure with the Covenant Journey!

Waking up in the city that never sleeps

Moving to NYC was a childhood dream fulfilled. I've enjoyed exploring all the different parts of the city, seeing Broadway shows, dancing with some of my role models, and meeting amazing people. Some highlights have been dancing with Sue Samuel's Jazz Roots Company, being a part of the dance parade down Broadway with Amy Marshall's modern company, dancing and singing in the original play Dear Mr. Rosan. I received the opportunity to choreograph for the play Mannequin’s Ball, for a benefit concert for Harlem's music programs, and the group dance for Project Dance, which will be perfromed in Houston, Atlanta, NYC, Sydney, Toronto, and the Philippines this year. Project Dance and Morning Star New York(my church) have become my family and helped make NYC home. :)
