I was a professional ballet dancer here in Cleveland for many years. After receiving an injury last year that caused me not to be able to dance and lose my job over therapy and all, I was at lowest of the lows in my life. On top of that, family illnesses and relationships ending, I was in such a dark rut, I never thought id be able to crawl out of it. My entire life had been turned upside down.

As cliche as it is, I met Bret this past summer and it was such an uplifting experience. Just spending time gave me the brightness I needed. How special he makes you feel, how kind he is, and all of his band and crew ( such amazing guys, theyre truly the most down to earth kind hearted people youd ever want to meet)

Also seeing how full of life Bret is after all that he’s been thru and all the things that tried to knock him down. I found the fight in me that I had almost lost. I had always been a fighter, determined and full of passion. It was a blessing to find that girl inside again.

That’s the whole point of this isn’t it, for the people and music to touch people, and everyone in a different ways that makes a difference to each person.

Now Im back in the dance studio, getting back in dancer shape. Ive become a successful model and the goals are limitless!
