What is your dancing background?
I have been dancing since I was 3-years-old! I took ballet for around twelve years at Lebanon Ballet School. Following that, I had the opportunity to join a college dance team at IPFW for four years. Performing with the Dancing Dons was my first look into the styles of jazz and hip hop. I then auditioned for the Madame Ants and successfully completed my second season in March 2019.

Outside of dancing, what are your hobbies and interests?
I love everything regarding fitness! I recently got barre fitness certified and have taught several group classes. I also love challenging myself with mud runs and Spartan races. I am hoping to complete the "trifecta" which is finishing all three Spartan race lengths (Sprint, Super and Beast) by the year 2020.

What's one interesting fact about you?
I have been a vegetarian for over nine years!

What is the best thing about Indiana fans?
The passion! I have been to many basketball games throughout the state of Indiana, and the consensus is the devotion to the game. The spirit and excitement you feel just walking into a Pacers game is incredible. The fans absolutely crave the game, and that's such an amazing environment to be a part of.

If you could be a backup dancer for one musical artist, who would it be and why?
P!nk. I love her music and have every single one of her albums! Her concerts are such an extravaganza, and she is an incredible performer! I also feel that she is a genuine person, and I love how strong of a woman she is.

Do you have any pets?
I do not, however, my goal in the near future is to rescue a dog!
