Since leaving Rise, I danced on my college dance team and had dance minor during my undergrad, performing at UDA college nationals and spring department performances. During my graduate degree, I continued to perform in Milwaukee and choreograph in the Milwaukee-area. I look forward to continuing to teach, choreograph, and perform in the future!

“Rise was the part of everyday that I could truly focus on dancing and letting go of any other worry, thought, or feeling. The versatility in technique and style from classes, to recital pieces, to competition pieces is truly something I miss. I am so grateful for the friends I have made from Rise both in fellow dancers and teachers.”
