Where did you grow up?
North Shore Massachusetts
What was your favorite dance accomplishment?
My favorite dance accomplishment was in the Fall of 2021, when I premiered my senior thesis at the University of the Arts titled Invoking Her. From beginning to end, I was so grateful for the dancers I got to work with and choreograph on. The piece turned out to be so much more than I had originally imagined, or thought was ever possible. Once adding in costumes and lighting… it was wild, magical and athletic. It was a project that I will always cherish!
What is your favorite tv show?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – I always love anything witchy!
What charity do you support?
My older sister was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes early in my childhood, so the JDRF fund was the first charity I ever participated in as a kid. Every year we would invite friends and family to create our team T-shirts, and go into Boston for the day. It was an event we would all look forward to each year.
