Jessica Jensen Walker from Cache Valley, Utah graduated with a BA in dance education in April. She was chosen to speak for the spring 2021 convocation on behalf of the BYU Department of Dance.
Before she came to BYU, Jessica Jensen Walker took dance classes and was a mainstay in her high school drill team at Mountain Crest High in Hyrum. She enjoyed her time dancing but never considered it to be a possible career choice. When she began her courses at BYU, the dance classes she participated in completely changed her perspective.
“I originally auditioned for the dance education major, but was accepted into the dance Bachelor of Arts program. After some time, I realized I did want the education component as well. I decided to pursue education because I really love teaching,” Walker said.
