She continued her studies for several years at the School of American Ballet in their children’s, intermediate and advanced divisions.

She has since danced and performed all around the country, highlights including Satellite Collective (BAM), the Ashley Bouder Project, work on Justin Peck’s recent revival of Carousel on Broadway, and joined Twyla Tharp for her 50th anniversary tour.
