Favorite Quote: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou  

Favorite Role or Ballet & Why: I think it’s hard to pick just one favorite since there are just so many beautiful ballets out there. I think if I had to choose, I would say Romeo and Juliet and Onegin to watch. But my favorite role I’ve done so far has been Carabosse in the Sleeping Beauty. There is just something so fun and so powerful about getting to play a role that is so far from reality. Something comes over you on stage and it’s a feeling like nothing else.  

Accomplishment you are most proud of: I am most proud of receiving my bachelor’s degree from Butler University in 3.5 years and getting my first professional contract with Ballet RI.  

Fun Fact about yourself: I do wheel thrown pottery and thrift avidly! I also can pogo stick with no hands.
