I was born July 21, 1988 in Bridgeport,Ct. I lived with my parents, two brothers, and sister in Stratford, Ct until we moved to Galveston when I was two. My family and I lived in Galveston, Tx for a year and later moved to Burnet, Tx when I was three. We resided in Burnet until the end of my fifth grade year and then finally moved to Austin.
I attended elementary school in Burnet and then was accepted to St.Stephens Episcopal School for junior high. After St. Stephen's I decided to take a chance with public school at Lake Travis but then transferred to St.Michaels Catholic Academy. I am currently a senior and am mapping out my college career. I would love to attend the University of Texas in Austin and also go to their law school to become a well respected family attorney.
So I could fulfill my dream of helping others.
My interests include ballet, community service, and attending school functions. Dancing has been my life since I was two years old. I have trained with San Antonio Dance Academy, Ballet Austin, and Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. Performing styles such as ballet, tap, jazz, flamenco, character, modern, and Mexican Folk. I have participated in National Charity League for five years and worked with over ten different philanthropies, my favorite being Mobile Loaves and Fishes. I have received the Mother-Daughter Service Award, Ticktocker Service Award, and Modelette Award.
I am extremely excited about this year and I can't wait to get started.
