I've been twirling since: 1992

What I like best about baton: traveling, competing and meeting new people. I love my baton twirling friends... I should say, baton twirling family!

My most memorable twirling moment: my first is joining the Bay State Strutters after many years of twirling with another team. As soon as I walked into the studio... I knew I was home! The second is my first national competition at the AAU Junior Olympics in Virginia Beach. I met so many great twirlers and made life long friends.

My favorite type of twirling: solo and multiple batons

My favorite trick: rolls and juggling
