What inspires you? 
I am inspired by my friends and my clients as a makeup artist. I want to help my clients feel confident and exuding confidence myself is a key step in doing that! Building that confidence is part of my practice at RGF!
What brought you to RGF? 
I found RGF through a friend of a friend, but it took a while for me to work up the courage. I’d wanted to try pole and aerial dance for a while but I was worried it would be a perfectionistic, high-pressure environment. Once I stepped foot in RGF for foundations, I saw how welcoming and inclusive the space is and I felt right at home! I dove into pole and hammock and haven’t looked back since!
What do you enjoy doing outside of the studio?
I love my career as a makeup artist! I just got married in October, so I love spending time at home with my husband and dog when time allows for it. And board game nights with friends are one of my favorite social pastimes. My hubby and I also do social dancing (primarily blues) and enjoy going into the city to catch some live music and dance!
What is your favorite thing about pole/aerial dance? 
I love how it allows me to see my body in a new light. I have struggled with self esteem and body image issues for my whole life, but in aerial I can see my body as strong, and sensual, and playful, and so many other expressions of myself.
