About Me
I was born May 1984 in Northern California. My heritage is
Filipino, Irish, Russian descent. I have one older sister and one
younger sister. My family has two dogs: Pookie and Max.
I attended Las Lomitas Elementary School and graduated from
Menlo-Atherton High School located in Menlo Park, CA in 2002.
My initial introduction to the world of dance was my first ballet class when I was 4 years old.
I started ballroom dancing at age 11 years and haven't stopped since!
