I started ballet at the age of two and have attended schools including Boston Ballet, Gelsey Kirkland Academy, and Forrest Academy of Classical Ballet New York of which I recently graduated from. I have attended summer programs at Gelsey Kirkland Academy, Ellison Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Kaatsbaan, and Forrest Academy of Classical Ballet New York. I have also had the opportunity of going to St. Petersburg to perform in Oleg Vinogradov’s Vivat Ballet Gala where I got to perform the Ocean and Pearls Pas de Trois. Some other roles I have gotten to perform include Gulnara, Big Swans, and Odalisques Pas de Trois. I am incredibly excited to be joining the Georgia Ballet this year!
