When I get asked "what got you into your career," there are two answers. Dance and the mind. I have always been fascinated with athletes and the ability to perform at high levels. It's amazing what the body can be trained to do. 

 

The brain is fascinating.

 

From my dance career, I learned that training your brain is as important as training your body.

 

If you're wanting to whip out four pirouettes, not only do you think about lifting your knee, pulling up through your leg, using your back and spot a non-moving target...you also visualize your turns and trust your body to do what it needs to do. You focus on positive thinking. You are confident. And you are the best athlete you can be in that moment.

​

"Dance and the mind" have continued to be an influence in the work that I do now, and the work I plan to do in the future. Even when things appear to be out-of-sync, there is rhythm and a lifetime of performances.
