What "b" phrase inspires you?

b.Consistent

I believe being consistent is one of the best ways you can make yourself the best version you can be! Dedicating your time to consistency and becoming confident in yourself is one of the most rewarding aspects of growth, and I love seeing students finding this!

Why do you teach dance?

I teach dance because I love helping others realize the potential in themselves, but also because dance is just so much fun!

What keeps you motivated?

My friends and family are my rocks that keep me motivated! They are always supporting and encouraging me to reach my goals.

What is your professional background?

I started dancing when I was three years old and began competing at the age of seven! I was on my high school dance team, the Electric Blue Dance Team at Carroll High School, and was a part of the competition program at Steppin' Out Studio of Dance/Tiffany and Company. I then joined the Purdue Dance Team my freshman year in college, and am currently the dance captain of the team for my senior year!

Why do you work at Studio b?

Dance has always been a huge part of my life and one of the aspects of dance that I love so much is the community that it brings together! Studio b has such a positive and uplifting atmosphere, which I am so grateful to be a part of this summer. I can't wait to help my students find confidence in themselves and have fun!

Fun fact:

My go to fun fact is always that I've worked professionally as a magicians assistant performing the illusions! For about four years I traveled in my free time with Midway of Magic and performed at festivals, charity events, and even proms! I had so much fun and learned so much about entertainment performance. Before you ask how the illusions work... it's magic :)
