This venue was basically a dream. The photos I shot here are some of my absolute favorites that I have ever taken. Also, shout out to my cousin for rocking her new look!

That yearbook photo is from 6th grade, and I still am in shock that I achieved my life’s dream of qualifying for the World Championships last night. I have never cried so much, but the icing on the cake was that I ended up 5th place and on the podium. Although that 6th grade me wanted it, did I truly ever think this would happen? Probably not. It was not until I truly started to work hard that I also knew I could achieve this goal eventually. Hard and SMART work certainly pays off! Roll on Glasgow and congratulations to all my wonderful u18s who danced yesterday and to all my LOQC friends who did a fabulous job this weekend. I cannot thank every dance teacher that I have had enough for helping me get to this moment.

Okay sorry for the million photos of myself, but SURPRISE NO MORE BUN WIG. I know it’s really no big deal but as a girl who’s pretty much worn a bun my whole life this is pretty weird but I’m diggin’ it

P.s- shoutout the @thefeckinmom for putting up with me today, dance day is always crazy yet somehow she manages to deal with my crazy butt. I love you momma bear!! ❤️

I’m literally in shock right now. Six years ago, I went to Dallas for my first Oireachtas, lucked out and squeaked by with recall. I can’t believe I’m here again, six years later, standing in the place I only dreamed about my first time. I feel so blessed. As always, I wouldn’t be here without my amazing teachers, and congratulations to Fran and Sergio on their well-deserved titles!

Killed the dress game, but didn’t kill the game that actually mattered; after the best three rounds of my life I placed 28th in the Mid Atlantic Region. However I had a great day with my favorite people and all that this major disappointment means is I have to work harder than ever before for Orlando. It’s going to be tough not being in Scotland, but I’m so happy for all of my U17’s who qualified and I wish them all the best!! Thank you Gavin and the team at Eire Designs for my last, but not least, dress. 10th Oireachtas is now done and dusted, thank you to all those who have made it possible ☘
