I started ballet lesson in 1999 at Academy of Arts in South Florida, where I trained in ballet, jazz, modern and musical theater. I was accepted to the pre-professional at 12 years old. Throughout my pre-professional years, I spent most of my free time researching exercise science, nutrition, and mental health.

Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to give back to the community that shaped me, and became a dance teacher in 2010, then a personal trainer in 2017. 

My Mission with Barbells and Ballet is to help performing artists and recreational dancers to find their style and boost their confidence through physical and artistic training.
