At what age did you start Irish Dancing?
Age 4

What did you like most about Irish Dancing?
I had tried ballet but I found Irish dance much more upbeat and quick moving. Also all the travelling to competitions was really exciting.

When and why did you decide you wanted to be in Riverdance?
As soon as I saw the original Riverdance on a tape from the Eurovision Song Contest I knew this was for me.

Where did you audition and what was it like?
I auditioned for the show in Hamilton, Ontario. I was excited but nervous as well. I was worried I would screw up and not get a second chance.

How did you feel when you heard you had been offered a place in the show?
I was ecstatic, I was all registered for University but I wanted to be in the show more.

Favorite part of the show?
My favorite part is Countess Cathleen because its all about the girls!

Best Riverdance moment?
My first show in New Haven. I can remember trying to hold back my grin in Reel Around the Sun.

Most embarrassing Riverdance moment?
Singing ´Lift the Wings´ with my corset down around my waist.

Do you have any rituals you have to do before going onstage?
No, not really.

If you could only take 2 comfort things on tour what would they be?
My Spongebob Squarepants pillow and my lavender scented candle.

What do you do in your free time on tour?
Mainly....sleep!
