Summary

As a dedicated ballet dancer, I have worked tirelessly to pursue my passion of ballet since the age of five. I was a company member at The Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory in Torrington, CT, where I earned the co-lead in The Nutcracker which was performed in Hartford, CT.

Balancing over 40 hours of dance each week, I also attend Kennesaw State University full time, where I maintained a 3.8 GPA .

After an incredible journey in dance, I have officially retired and I look forward to embracing new academic challenges at the University of Tennessee as a Chemical Engineering Major.
