My PerfectFit toe pads and lacrosse ball to roll out.

Movie you can re-watch till the end of time?
Mamma Mia! It’s so good.

Dancer who’s inspired you?
Sara Mearns is an artist who inspires me. Her authenticity shows when she performs and I love the emotion and artistry that she brings to each role.

Song/artist/playlist you’ve been playing on repeat?
I’m a big music person. There are so many artists and bands I love. Some favorites are the Lumineers, Mt. Joy, Noah Kahan, and the Beatles!

Least favorite dance step?
Probably grand plié in fifth in the center. So hard.

How do you like to spend your time outside of dance?

Best place to hang out in your company’s home city?
I will never get over Forest Park. I love walking around the park or just having a picnic with a book. It’s a St. Louis gem!

Juliet from Romeo and Juliet.

Go-to coffee shop order?
I’m so boring when it comes to my coffee order; I’m easy to please with a good drip coffee with some half and half.

Essential post-show ritual?
Some good food and ice cream.
