FAVORITE HOBBY:
Dance is my favorite hobby. I have danced since the age of 2 and my dance competitions have allowed me to travel to many cities in the U.S where I have been exposed to many regional cultures. I have performed with the Birmingham Ballet, Alabama Ballet, Orlando Ballet, and Atlanta Ballet in performances such as Don Quixote, Coppelia, Peter Pan, and the Nutcracker as several lead characters.
I take voice lessons and love to scrapbook. I like old movie classics and collect memorabilia from “Gone With the Wind”. I also love to draw designs and landscapes which I hope to continue in an Interior Design career.
