She serves as a triage counselor as part of the crisis team. Her best piece of advice for her college self would be, “to put yourself out there more. The worst thing that could happen is that you tried, the best thing is that it actually made an impactful difference in your life…And don’t stop dancing just because your knees start to hurt.”
