At the age of 4, I was offered a role of Sasha in the MGM classic, Dr. Zhivago. As a teenager, I started ballet and worked my way up to a career as a professional dancer. Writing music has always been an important outlet for me. Choreographing ballet gives me a similar sense of satisfaction. Currently a professor of dance at Kent State, I am finding my way back to my passion for writing songs and am starting by posting some of my older songs through Distrokid.
