Promoting a Healthy Heart

I have been dancing since I was three years old. I love to perform and be on stage. I’ve had fun as a Junior Charger Girl, raising money for Make a Wish Foundation and I’ve also performed in a benefit for Hurricane Katrina victims. I’ve danced Nationally as well as Internationally. I competed in Germany at the World Tap Dance Championship receiving two gold medals for the United States. I also performed on America’s Most Talented Kids. I’m an honor student in Middle School and the President of our school’s show choir. I plan to attend The Juilliard School and someday perform on Broadway.
I love spending time with my family and friends. Attending Charger games, shopping, and riding my go-cart are my favorite past times. I enjoy my two dogs and teaching my bird to talk. Having family members with Heart Disease has made me aware of a very important issue. I want to inform children it’s never too early to think about their future health. With a proper diet and exercise we can make Heart Disease a disease of the past.
