I was born in New York City and spent 16 years as a principal ballerina with Pacific Northwest Ballet and Carolina Ballet. While dancing, I founded PNB’s first mentorship and wellness program, launched my own consulting company, and started a nonprofit training ballet teachers around the globe. I came to Fuqua to build business acumen in a new industry, with a particular interest in mission-driven health care, before bringing those skills back to the arts in a leadership role. This summer, I will be interning at Edwards Lifesciences.

At Fuqua, I have embraced diverse perspectives through academics (coursework and team projects), events (guest speakers and student-run conferences), and real-world experience through the Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum. Next year, I will serve as vice president of membership for the Net Impact Club and vice president of motherhood for the Women in Business Club as ways to give back to the incredible community that has supported me through my first year. Outside of school, I am passionate about mentoring youth, backpacking and being the best mom I can.
