I started dancing at the age of 3 years old. Dancing in a new dance studio’s my knowledge of the art grew tremendously. At the age of 8 I was testing through the Royal Academy of Ballet from Manchester England. At the age of 12 I began to compete in upwards of 12 competitions a year.

In 1999 my dance team was chosen to compete in the World Championship of the Performing Arts held in Los Angeles, California as part of TEAM USA and brought home 2 World Championship Medals. In 2000 I traveled to New York City and competed in a dance and modeling Competition. When I turned 17 and was a senior in High School I started competing with the Miss New Hampshire America Preliminary pageants. I would compete roughly 10 pageants a year and begain classes and promotional work for John Casablanca modeling.

In 2003 I moved to Oak Island, NC and began teaching with another studio in Southport; where I became the founder of the Studio's dance team.  The team was awarded medals ranging from silvers to High golds and many specialty awards.  I taught there for 4 years and also coached students for pageants, with one finishing first runner up.

Recently married, I decided it was time to venture on my own and share my love and passion for the arts with the children of Oak Island.
