Along with Laurie, Jazzy trains with another Rio hopeful, Ariana Agrapides, who completes the MG Elite Three Elite Musketeers.

Her floor is performed to Lily Allen's "Never Gonna Happen" with sassy choreography, courtesy of her coach, Maggie Haney who choreographs her girls' routines to their individual personalities.
