What have you been doing post OSA?

I was a cheerleader at Arizona State University football and basketball games and a dancer for arena football league, I'm now a teacher (some of my former students from East Bay Innovation Academy go to OSA)

Are there any career highlights that you'd like us to share and celebrate?

How did attending OSA impact your life and career?

It allowed me to take a deeper dive into dance, and other arts, and opened my eyes to new experiences.

What does being from Oakland (or the greater Bay Area) mean to you?

It wasn't until I left the state that I noticed the cultural influence that Oakland and the bay area has on the country (music, language, etc). I'm proud to be from the bay area and will continue to defend it.

What is your fondest memory of being a student at OSA?

Please share which teacher/class at OSA had the greatest impact on you and why:

Mr. Savage, he was the first person to push me and to make me work hard. I still carry his lessons and wisdom to this day.
