She took a slight detour from pursuing a formal career in dance by taking on the role of Mom to two wonderful children, Dakota and Justin, both of whom she is extremely proud. She wants to thank her mom, (her guardian angel) and her dad for all their support throughout her life. Here’s to a great show with a wonderful cast! Break a leg!
