Dance Experience: I have six years of experience in folklorico dance with Carolina Russek, two years on the Alhambra High School Drill/Dance Team, and six months ballet with Dance Connection. Also, this is my second year as a member of the Let's Dance Company at East Los Angeles College.

Future goals/plans:I hope to one day study aborad, receive my PhD in Anthropology or Geology and travel around the world. If and when I do have money and some free time, I would love to open a dance studio that would allow children of under-privileged families to learn the classical art of ballet.

Hobbies: I love to dance, swim, draw, read mysteries and novels, work on crossword puzzles, and hangout with friends.

Fav. Color: I like the colors black, teal, purple, and hot pink.

Fav. Food: I like sushi, macaroni & cheese, and lemon meringue pie.

Fav. Music: I like Tool, Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, and The Cranberries.

Role models: My mother, Jane Pineda, and my sister, Randa Gary, are my role models.
