To qualify for the Girl Scout Gold Award, she organized a series of dance workshops to boost the self confidence of elementary school girls. The project was titled "D.A.N.C.E: Dance Appreciation to Nurture Confidence through Expression".
This year, 182 Girl Scouts from the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia have earned the Gold Award. The award is the highest honor earned by a select group of Girl Scouts who have demonstrated superior leadership, organization and a higher commitment to community service
