Learn More About This Sea Gal

Occupation:  Owner of PacWest Performing Arts

High School:  Juanita High School (Seattle, WA)

College: University of Washington

Years as a Sea Gal:  3 Years

Dance Background:
I’ve studied jazz, tap, and ballet since I was three years old.  I became a fan of hip hop and modern in college, and dabbled in salsa and west coast swing.  As a studio owner/instructor I’ve become proficient in lyrical and contemporary.

Hobbies: I love live comedy and live music.  A close third is driving around late at night and listening to podcasts – This American Life, Freakonomics, Marc Maron, and Bill Burr are my favorites.

Major Goal I Have Met:  Somehow I managed to start a second dance studio this year.  I’m excited to see it grow.

Best Experience: In October of 2009 my future husband and I were sitting in the stands at Qwest, freezing, watching the Hawks play the Jaguars.  I looked down at the Sea Gals and decided “I have an overwhelming sensation that I must do that.”  I didn’t tell him until we were walking to our car.  It was exhilarating knowing I was about to work for something that was so completely outside my comfort zone.

How I Stay Fit: When I teach I participate as if I’m taking class with my students.  I also park as far from the grocery store as possible, and rarely take the elevator!

Best Advice: Never send an email when you’re angry.

Best Part of Being a Sea Gal: I feel so fortunate to represent the Seahawks.  There is a cumulative pride I feel for our city, our team, and our organization when I step back and look at the NFL.  Seattle is like no other.  Go Hawks!
