EDUCATION
BFA UNIVERSITY OF UTAH
August 2015 - December 2019
I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Ballet with a performance emphasis. I took courses and engaged with topics including ballet technique, pointe, partnering, modern technique, dance history, dance criticism, choreography, ballet pedagogy, and kinesiology. I also had a specific interest in Gender Studies, learning about feminist theory, social inequality, and the intersection of dance and gender studies.
