A taste of Champagne . . .

About me: I grew up in a tiny town just outside of Providence, Rhode Island. At the age of 3, my parents signed me up for dance classes to entertain my bubbly (pun intended!!) personality and I haven’t stopped since- whether it be in a dance studio, on a stage, while “walking” to a destination, in the shower, in the passenger seat of a car, or even at tables when serving as a waitress! I decided to pursue my love for dance by moving from the smallest state in the country to New York City where I get to explore and experience all that the Big Apple has to offer. You can also find me traveling, hiking, watching my plants grow, out to brunch and spending time with loved ones.
