Professional Irish Dancer championship in the CLRG dance commission. After retiring from competitive dancing, I subsequently achieved my TCRG certification in the fall of 2017. In addition to my technical skills, I am a captivating performer always trying to capture the strength and passion of Irish dance. A self-motivated, fast learning team player, I will be the ideal asset to your production.
