Q&A
What ballet or role would you like to dance but haven't yet?
Lady of the Camellias, Swan Lake, and Carmen because they each have a large acting component and lots of drama.
When you have downtime from productions, what do you do to relax?
I love take hot bath do my skincare routine and spent time with my cat Jerry.
What has been your proudest moment as a dancer? Why?
I was so shocked and proud when I was chosen to do Snow Queen during my first year at SF Ballet and when I got promoted to soloist in 2016.
When I'm not working, I enjoy...
Traveling to beautiful places.
