As both a professional dancer with City Ballet of San Diego and a cancer survivor, I understand that the most profound performances happen not on stage, but in our daily practice of showing up, working through challenges, and finding beauty in the process.
My journey from American Ballet Theatre's JKO School to performing at The Kennedy Center has taught me that ballet is more than technique—it's a transformative art that builds resilience, confidence, and grace in every aspect of life.
