I grew up in the small quiet NH town of Newton. My parents
enrolled me in dance lessons as soon as I could walk, which is what sparked my desire to perform. My family knew that I was
a natural for the stage by my twirls through the grocery store isles, mini recitals in the kitchen for guests, and leaps down
the hall. I was a nut!
During high school I was captain of the cheerleading team
and continued my dance training, studying jazz, tap, and pointe.
After high school I headed off to the University of New Hampshire
where I studied Nutition and Sociology - wierd combo huh? Never could make up my mind! I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor
of Arts in Sociology. Not knowing what to do with myself as far as a career I ended up in "cubicle jobs" for the first three
years. One day while surfing the web I came across some photos on the FAP website.....which re-ignited my desire to perform!
I called up local trainer to to New England Dream Team: Cathy Savage...and the rest is history.
I just finished my first year competing and enjoyed
every second of it....from the grewling hours of cardio preparing for contests to the life long friendships I have made.
