Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Irish danced with both the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance and Glencastle Irish Dancers. I'm taking a break from it right now to pursue more academic endeavors, but I hope to return to it one day and continue passing on my love of the beautiful dance and music of Ireland.
