All about me

Growing up in the Portland area, all I did was play sports, everything from basketball to soccer to softball. It wasn't until I was 14 years old that I discovered my love for dance. I entered into a world where girls have been dancing since the age of 4, but I loved the sport too much to let that intimidate me. While they had beautiful technique and grace I had passion and drive, and through those characteristics I developed into a lovely dancer myself.

Dancing with my pop

I love all styles of dance, but have been trained in Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Kick. My strength is that I'm a versatile dancer, and can pick up what most choreographers throw at me. However, I do struggle with technique still, but work on it every time I'm in the studio.

 During my time in college I joined the Oregon State Elite dance team, and during my senior year I was elected to be captain, which meant I had the responsibility to run and choreograph for the team. I found a real stride with choreography and hope to continue choreographing in the future.
