What's your biggest challenge as a dancer? Why?
Time. This is such a beautiful but short career.
What has been your proudest moment as a dancer? Why?
Joining the Company and getting these amazing opportunities. Having a work made on me and dancing lead roles.
What can always make you laugh?
I always get a kick out of being in a situation where I shouldn't be laughing.
When you have downtime from productions, what do you do to relax?
I enjoy rock climbing, going to the movies, & going to farmer markets. Sometimes getting out of the city is nice too!
