May: Finished my first year of my Dance MFA program
June: Became a published scholar through the Journal of Emerging Dance Scholarship
July: Danced in the Eclectic Edge Ensemble 10 Year Anniversary Concert
August: Presented my first paper and panel (World Dance Alliance in Vancouver)
August: Produced the fifth annual Rhythmically Speaking show!
September: Dug into my work as CU Dance Program Events Coordinator
October: TA’ed and prepped to teach (in Spring) CU’s Dance and Popular Culture class
November: Booked the Absinthe House in Boulder for my MFA show

I feel so grateful for my opportunities. I’m excited to see what the New Year has in store! All joyous and creative wishes;
