Bio

Hi! I'm Eden. I am a current student at Point Park University working towards my BFA in dance with a modern concentration. I have been dancing since the age of four at a studio in Michigan and am trained in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, modern, ballroom, and improvisation. Although dance is one of my biggest loves in life, I am also passionate about reading, baking, painting, and pottery. I have extensive hours of volunteer work through NHS in high school and now with Bonner Leaders in college, a work-study program that pairs you with a local nonprofit to work at. In the future, I would love to be able to continue giving back to my communities, explore the world, and join a contemporary dance company! I would overall describe myself as a creative, thoughtful, and calm individual who would greatly appreciate any support to accomplish my goals.
