Most memorable moment:
One of my most memorable moments was while performing Christopher D’Amboise’s Pandora’s box and in the middle of the piece, after becoming so consumed in the movement, realizing that I was actually onstage. Another was the opportunity to perform the role of Aurora in my first year with St. Louis Ballet.  Also, when I was acknowledged in rehearsals for my progress by Mr. D'Amboise, and learned of the opportunity of a grant for which he'd offered my name.
When I am not rehearsing or performing:
I own a franchise and teach AntiGravity Fitness, set routes for and climb at Upper Limits Rock Climbing Gym, and dabble in a variety of other arts.
Never miss an episode of:
Castle, Sherlock Holmes BBC
