CURRENT MISSION

Be good. Be strong. Be bird.

ABOUT ME

I am a poet, writer, dancer, and artist. A native of Tallahassee, Florida, I am a principal dancer for the Pas de Vie Ballet. I have worked as a cashier, dance teacher, Pilates instructor, and journalist and volunteered as a DJ and producer for the V89 radio station. Passionate about the arts and the environment, in 2011 I founded the non-profit Dancearth, an arts for social change initiative that unites and preserves both.

PHILOSOPHY

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Surfed when I went to Denver for a concert, and am excited to continue learning about the CS world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met President George Bush in the Oval Office when I was 13 because I placed 3rd in a national math competition. I wore an "Earth Day" button to show him I supported environmental conservation.
