Stevens Point

Summary

Trained from a young age under Jodi Lynn Flattoff, at "Forthcoming Danspace" in Stevens point wisconsin, I learned so much more than just the technique and skills that a dancer normally learns at their studio. I of course learned so many valuable things like the typical leaps, turns, etc; but also so many other non dance related life lessons. For example, I learned how to be confident in being my unapologetic self, that passion and determination can take you to the stars, and also how to connect with others and create bonds that last a lifetime. My background includes transforming my own abilities as a choreographer and showcasing significant growth in skills and performance presence in a variety of dance styles throughout my life as a dancer. I also have work experience in the customer service Food industry, as I am currently employed at Matsuya Sushi Bar and Grill in Stevens Point Wisconsin. Working there for about a year now, has shown me the importance of a good work mindset and communication skills as well.
