Meet the Dancer
​
Q: When did you start dancing?
A: When I could walk.
Q: What is your favorite ballet?
A: Jewels even though this question should be illegal.
Q: What is your favorite ballet role and why?
A: My current obsession is the Queen of Hearts in the Royal Ballets production of Alice. I think Christopher Wheeldon is a genius and I love the costumes. Outside of current obsession, I love any part of Who Cares by George Balanchine.
Q: What are your hobbies?
A: When I get time outside work, I'm usually traveling. My friends live around the US/world, so it's important for me to make time to see them. Is family time considered a hobby? I love shopping as well, but that's stretching it.
Q: What is your favorite quote?
A: You only live once.
Q: What are your educational/career goals?
A: I am currently the Admin Director for FOKO and I hope to stay on this path with local Maine non-profits. I am passionate about the Portland arts community and I want to support the organizations that make it happen! I would also love to stay involved in MSB productions.

Q: What is your ballet shoe of choice?
