I'm a dancer and an optimist. I believe in working hard and being strong and never giving up. I love coffee and ice cream and bright colors. I believe in living in the moment, being positive and challenging myself every day. I love power yoga and boots and pretty clothes. I choose to live by choice, to make changes and live my life by listening to my inner voice. I think smiles and laughter can solve even the most difficult problems. I believe in learning from the past, and always moving forward.

I'm dancing. I love all kinds of dance, but ballet is where my heart is. I studied dance and English at the University of Minnesota. I left school early to pursue a career in classical ballet. I read every day and am still working on some coursework online to be sure that my brain doesn't go to mush. I have every intention on going back and finishing school when the time is right. I think it's important for all artists to be multifaceted.
