Fun Facts



I grew up right outside of Boston.

I now live in New York City.

I've been dancing since I was 3 years old. And still do.

And was one of American Dance Awards' top 100 Dancers of the Year in 2012.

I lit the Empire State Building on July 5th, 2015.

And then again for my graduation from NYU.

I love milk, but I hate cheese (I know, I know).

I have the cutest dog in the world (unbiased opinion), named Teddy.

I'm really good at baking, but could burn water while trying to cook.
