DANCEATSPELMAN is a three-day collegiate dance experience designed to welcome high school dancers to Spelman College. Through dance technique classes, performances, conversations, campus experiences, and admissions programming, students will have the opportunity to experience dance in a collegiate environment while exploring the connection between movement, identity, culture, and liberation.

Senior Psychology Major

Aspiring Rehabilitation Scientist 

I am a Spelman College student and dedicated advocate for holistic wellness, passionate about advancing healing through dance, rehabilitation, and equitable access to movement-based care. My journey began as a dancer, where I experienced the power of movement to restore both the body and mind. That foundation now informs my work as a physical therapy technician and volunteer in clinical settings, supporting patients as they regain mobility and improve quality of life, and shaping my interest in exploring physical rehabilitation for cancer patients.

Beyond the clinic, I lead and create community-centered wellness initiatives. I co-founded DANCEATSPELMAN, a program that has impacted over 100 high school dancers nationwide by expanding access to higher education and professional pathways in dance. As Vice President of the Spelman Dance Student Association (SDSA), I launched Serving Our Community Through Movement, a dance-based wellness program for senior citizens in local senior living homes.

Together, these experiences shape my purpose to advance arts-informed, movement-based cancer rehabilitation that supports mobility, wellness, and inclusive healing.
