“I started dancing at 3 years old, but competitively dancing at 6 years old. Growing up I always knew dance was going to be in my life. I won numerous awards and titles throughout my competitive dance career. After high school, I went to Slippery Rock University and majored in Communication and minored in Dance. While in college I got the opportunity to work at Cedar Point in their Live Entertainment department. In 2017, I got the opportunity to be the Live Entertainment office clerk where I learned the ins and outs of the entertainment industry. In 2018, I was the sole Live Entertainment intern. I was a supervisor of 18 shows and 50 members of the Peanuts Gang, Following college graduation in 2019, I moved to Orlando, FL and worked at Disney World. I completed the Disney College Program (DCP) from May 2019 to January 2020 as a character performer in parades. After I completed the DCP, I got an offer to stay and be a character performer. After Covid hit in March 2020, I decided it was best to move home. In the summer of 2021, I got offered to perform in four shows at Cedar Point: 1-5-0 Street Squad, Peanuts Block Party, 150 Spectacular Night show, and a dancer swing in 150 Spectacular Parade. I also got offered to stay at Cedar Point to be an actor in Midnight Syndicate for Halloweekends. I returned to Cedar Point in the summer of 2022, and was a dancer in four shows again: 1-5-0 Street Squad, Peanuts Block Party, 150 Spectacular Night show, and a dancer Captain in 150 Spectacular Parade. I got offered to stay for Halloweekends where I was a dancer, singer, and actor in 2 shows: The Monsters Are Coming and SLASHMOB. While working at Cedar Point I worked with several amazing choreographers such as Josh Assors, Marilyn Magness, Cathy Lozano, Taylor Smith, and Tony Gonzalez. I love to continue and pass on my education to younger dancers.”
