Q&A
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR PROUDEST MOMENT AS A DANCER? WHY?
Dancing the final pas de deux with Vanessa Zahorian in Liam Scarlett's Fearful Symmetries. As a first year corps member, it was a privilege to get to work with a principal dancer—Vanessa was lovely.
WHEN I'M NOT WORKING I ENJOY...
Working on my own projects outside the dance world. I've been doing a lot of painting and playing guitar.
IF I WEREN'T A DANCER I'D BE...
A photographer for National Geographic.
