Favorite quote: “Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.” – Carrie Fisher

Favorite ballet and why: Giselle is my favorite ballet because it was the time I really felt how difficult ballet was. Being in the corps as a wilis was incredibly difficult but it was also so fulfilling.

An accomplishment you’re most proud of: Creating my first of piece of choreography that I did on the dancers of Ballet RI. It was really scary to be a trainee choreographing on the company dancers, I had to overcome a lot of anxiety. Choreographing that piece gave me so much confidence and joy for continuing dancing.

Fun fact about yourself: I was born on the Ides on March.
