I believe in creating art to bring joy and beauty to our world.

I fell in love with ballet at the age of 4 — and have been dancing ever since. When I dance, I picture the audience, moving with the music and finding a small piece of magic in the experience.

It gives me so much joy to give back and mentor young dancers, share this gift with others and spread a tiny bit of happiness along the way.

I wish the whole world could experience the feeling I have on stage, but in the alternative, at least take in the occasional performance and lose themselves, if only for a moment.
