- Hometown: Columbia, SC
- Dancing Since: Age 4
- Seasons with Charlotte Ballet: 5
- Favorite local hangout: Not Just Coffee in 7th Street Market is easily the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.
- Favorite physical activity: I love going to Pilates at 8th Street Studio. Laney is the best and really makes me feel my powerhouse!
- Favorite role I’ve performed: Duet in Minus 16, red girl in Walking Mad, or red couple in Forgotten Land. It’s so hard to choose just one!
- Favorite thing to do on an off day: Hang out with Ben and our pup Diego at our apartment. I really love our place. We love walking into NoDa and getting food. We are sort of Foodies. We love checking out all of the new local restaurants all over Charlotte though.
