Fun Facts About Me:

What do you do in your free time? I can’t really say that I have free time these days.  When I am not in the studio I can be found with my family. I love being a mom! It is just as difficult as doing 32 fouetté turns on pointe, but just as rewarding! 

What is your favorite travel destination? Cuba!  I got married there. 

What is your go-to take-out meal? Sushi.  It is quick, fresh and delicious.
