Favorite Role or Ballet & Why:

I love roles where I can embody elegance and beauty, however I also enjoy portraying uncharacteristic roles. One of my favorites to perform last year was Doll in “The Nutcracker.” This character is comedic and has an engaging personality with boundless energy. I also loved performing in the cast of “Ode.” With the piece being contemporary based, I really enjoyed exploring different dynamics. The intense and rhythm-filled music was thrilling to dance to as well!

Accomplishment you are most proud of: Graduating from Ellison Ballet at 18 and receiving my first professional contract with Ballet RI straight out of high school!

Fun Fact about yourself: I love going to the beach early in the morning to watch the sunrise. There is something so relaxing and beautiful about it and it instantly makes my day better!
