Dancing is my greatest escape while at the same time, my greatest reality. It forces me to work and deal with 'right now', be patient and remember that my best work comes out when I allow myself to play.

I feel lucky to pursue what brings me the most joy and to be fully supported by my family and loved ones. The teachers who have guided me here have given me the tools to trust my art, take responsibility and go for it! I cannot thank them enough!

My story is no different than many dancers, my parents had to tear me out of the studio, I danced in the aisles of the grocery stores and there were many 'shows' put on in my living room. I love an audience, it only encourages me; and no matter how big the house, I can always find my mom.
