roasty equatorial region into the home of her fabulous family in Juneau,
Alaska. She considers herself Alaskan for having lived in Juneau until
deciding to come to Hollins as a dance major. She has loved movement since
the moment she began to bounce in her rocker to the soundtrack of the
movie Flashdance, which just happened to be released the year of her birth.
She will continue to shake it in New York City when she moves there after
graduation. To my family: love you all. |
