Hey y’all! I am SO EXCITED to help open this new chapter, the North Texas Two-Stepping Catholics! This has been a long time coming! I am Texas born and raised, a Cooke County native. I recently graduated with my bachelor’s in Kinesiology with a Pre PT track from Texas Woman’s University. While I was there, I was a member of TWU’s country dance club, where I learned to lead and follow as well as multiple line dances! I am currently studying for my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. When I’m not at work, school, or out dancing, I love spending time with my family, my puppy Prissy, my horse Buddy Bo, and my cow Peaches! If you ever find yourself at Red River or Electric Cowboy, come find me and ask me to dance! 💃🏼🤠

Hi, y’all! I am the oldest of 10 children! I have lived in Texas almost all my life. I was born in New Hampshire, lived in Austin for a short while, and now reside in Denton. I love dancing and spending time with friends and family. I am currently a student and work at my local church. I enjoy horseriding, coffee, and spending my free time playing games and doing art! I love doing two-stepping and Contra dancing! Faith is important to me, and so is fellowship! There is no better way to have that than through dancing!
