Interesting Facts:  I love food and gourmet cooking. I do not watch much television, but when I do; my favorite channel is the Food Network, especially Rachel Ray. I am an only child. I have been dancing for only five years, but now I dance approximately seven hours a day. My love of performing arts is in my blood; my father is a theater arts professor and my mother is a costume designer and former Miss California contestant. Like most teenagers, I am somewhat of a computer whiz, especially in the area of Photoshop!
