Hobbies: I enjoy dancing: Hip Hop with Luther Brown, Lenny, or Danny. I love
going to Mariano's break dancing class at OIP. I also love teaching
dance to my students. I was training to become an amateur boxer with
coach Billy Martin prior to making Argos ... I really miss boxing
(can't be a cheerleader with a "smashed up" face). I also enjoy mixed
martial arts. I love swimming - I was a competitive swimmer for 16
years. Absolutely adore going to the movies or renting.
Have you done any volunteer/charity work?
Through
my work with the Argos I have worked to help organizations such as:
Stop the Violence, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Peel Breakfast
for Kids. Through my business I have worked to help numerous students
with varying disabilities (blindness, autism, ADHD, etc) learn to
dance. Moreover, my business is active in the community attempting to
assist our students with their various dance aspirations. We have
assisted several students, through private lessons and by providing
letters of recommendation, in being accepted to Cawthra School of the
Arts. We have helped two students with financial difficulty obtain a
one year training scholarship to a local dance studio. Finally we have
offered complementary training/rehabilitation services to several
financially unstable individuals who were suffering severe health
conditions - recent stroke, recent diagnosis with heart disease.

Quote:
The
Bachelor (1999) Priest: "It's a wonderful thing, as time goes by, to be
with someone who looks into your face, when you've gotten old, and
still sees what you think you look like." "I am looking for love. real
love. ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming,
can't-live-without-each-other love." -Carrie Bradshaw.

Something very few people know about me:
I was a competitive swimmer for over 16 years. I qualified for the
Olympic Trials/Nationals in the 800m and 1500m Freestyle. Swimming was
my life and now dancing is!
Three words that best describe me...
Determined, Energetric, Empathetic.
What it means to be a member of the Blue Thunder to me:
Being
a member of the Blue Thunder Team is incredibly important to me. I
have met many fantastic people, and have cultivated many friendships
that will last throughout my life. Not only is Blue Thunder a team
that enables dancers to train and perform, it's a team that supports
you in all aspects of life. It gives the team a representation
throughout the community, as we are all considered role models. I'm
looking forward to the upcoming season.
