I'm always either reading, writing, or dancing. I think of myself as a realist romantic, and I aim to be a ray of sunshine. I am pretty easily delighted by twinkly lights and bright colors.

My two life mantras:

1) Look at yourself and say -- 'Why can't you?' every time you say, 'I can't.'

2) MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Currently, I'm trying to make dance happen to the world with Maria Ratskevich, at Chromatic Dance.

At Yale, I dedicated my time to being an English major, the co-president of Danceworks, and the Editor-in-Chief of Vita Bella! Magazine. I was madly in love with all of those things.

In a past life, I completed the Math, Science, & Engineering program and the International Baccalaureate program at Suncoast High School, and a communications major at Bak Middle School of the Arts in sunny South Florida.

I'm a hardcore fan of Taylor Swift and Virginia Woolf. Mrs. Dallowayis my favorite book. I think a lot about time, memory, identity, feelings, and narratives. I'm absurdly sentimental.

tl;dr I'm really into humans and their stories, so come tell me yours.
