International Ballet Theatre Academy
I grew up in Malvern, PA training in the Vaganova Method at International Ballet Theater Academy under Jaelyn Fellona. During my early dance career, I competed and won awards at various competitions including Youth America Grand Prix and World Ballet Competition. After high school, I found a happy medium between my commitment to dance and academics at Columbia University. There, I continued to hone my performance skills and artistry through the various ballet groups including Columbia Ballet Collaborative (CBC), Columbia Repertory Ballet (CRB), Columbia University Ballet Ensemble (CUBE), and Barnard Dance Department, later holding leadership positions at CBC (PR Director) and CRB (Co-director). I have interned with Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital and Pfizer Oncology Scientific Publications team. After graduating, I served as a clinical assistant at Generation Next Fertility and worked at Solebury Strategic Communications as an analyst on the Life Sciences team. After which, I decided to follow my ultimate interest in becoming a physician and applied to medical school. I am now in my 3rd year of medical school at Penn State College of Medicine. I am interested in and happy to chat about careers in the healthcare sector from clinical to corporate. Finally, I am always open to do one off chat to talk about my experience and philosophizing about highs and lows of the ballet world.
