11. Talk about a dance experience that moved you or that you are proud of. (A performance, a dance event, fundraiser.)
a. Tough to pick, there have been many life-changing dance events. The most recent event was Emmanuel College Dance Marathon. It was 12 hours of dancing without sitting down from 10pm to 10am to fundraise money for sick children at Boston Children’s Hospital. When we signed in for the event, we were each given a child to dance for, and on hour 11, the children we danced for came in and we heard their stories. We had a goal to raise $42,000.00 this year and ended up raising $67,700.13 for Boston Children’s Hospital!
12. What do you eat for breakfast?
a. Usually in a rush and don't get to eat breakfast – but when I have time fruit, lucky charms, and juice.
13. Have you traveled outside of the country? If yes, to where? If no, where have you gone in the USA?
a. No, I've never been outside of the country yet – but that is soon to change! As of now I’ve been to Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
14. What do you do after a long day of rehearsals?
a. A hot bath with Epsom salts, and relax – sometimes stretch.
15. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
a. In 10 years, I am hoping that I will be either out of Med School, or finishing up. I want to be a pediatrician specializing in Autism someday, so hopefully I'll be closer to that goal. I would also like to start a non-profit dance program for children with special needs that might not be able to afford dance classes due to high medical bills or unavailability.
16. What is your favorite non-dance hobby?
a. Photography
17. What are your biggest pet peeves and your biggest indulgence?
a. My biggest pet peeves are people chewing with their mouths open, and people that cut in front of you and walk really slow. My biggest indulgence is watching Hannibal on TV.
18. What is your favorite quote?
a. “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” - Oscar Wilde
