Hometown: East Longmeadow, MA

Favorite Quote: Have courage and be kind. Beauty will save the world.
Favorite Role or Ballet & Why: Emilia from José Limón’s Moor’s Pavane. To tell such a dramatic and powerful story through subtlety and detail was an incredible artistic challenge, and one I hope to revisit one day. (Also, the costume was FABULOUS!)
Accomplishment you are most proud of: Having the opportunity to work for an organization as both a dancer and an administrative manager. I’m living my dream while also gaining experience that will help me develop and impact live performance art from both sides of the stage.
Fun Fact about yourself: Everyone in my family was born on the 13th or 31st – completely by chance.
