HOMETOWN:  Alpharetta, GA

YEAR IN SCHOOL:  Third Year

MAJOR:  International Business / Romance Languages

DANCE EXPERIENCE:  I've danced like no one's watching for years, but I started doing ballroom at the beginning of freshman year.  Through swing nights, salsa nights, Sunday night lessons and Friday Night Dances, I developed a pretty serious addiction from which I have yet to recover.  I was in the Apprentice Group in the spring of '07.

FAVORITE DANCE(S):  This is constantly changing and is usually determined by how I feel at the time and who I'm dancing with... but anything that is filled with expression and emotion makes me really happy.  A few that never seem to fail me are Salsa, any kind of Swing, and Tango.

MORE ABOUT ME:  I love music.  I have played the violin for 7 years and am now attempting to teach myself guitar, but what I love most is listening to and feeling the music.  I sing in the shower, I run in the rain, and I'll play frisbee in pretty much any kind of weather.  I keep myself pretty busy, but when time allows, I love reading interesting books, making art, and watching good films.  I can speak Spanish and am trying to learn French.  Keeping the language concentration in mind, I know that I want to travel - that I want to see as much of the world and learn about as many cultures as I can.  I don't know exactly where my life is taking me, but I know God has plans and that everything works out in the end.
