About

  • I am an aspiring physician and ballerina with a heart for the arts and the sciences. I am an honors student at Santa Catalina Upper School where I focus my studies in the sciences, with hopes to one day practice Medicine; while also continuing my classical ballet training with dreams of performing professionally in a company. One day I hope to share the same passion of helping others heal that I bring to the stage.
