Occupation: Dance Teacher & Model

What are you most looking forward to in your first season as a Denver Nugget Dancer? I’m looking forward to the feeling of running out on the court and knowing all our hard work is worth it!

Favorite Nuggets player? My favorite player is Nikola Jokic because you can tell he values family. I love how he wears his wedding ring on his shoe! He’s such an easy guy to cheer for.

Favorite dance style to perform on the court? I love performing hip-hop because of the different textures you can have within a routine.

What do you like to do when you aren’t dancing? I love to be with my family, try a new restaurant, or binge watch a Netflix show with my Husband.

What is your favorite thing to do in Denver/Colorado? I love that Denver is a big sports town and there are a lot of fun activities. My husband and I have been checking off a lot of sporting events on our Denver bucket list!

What are 3 words you would use to describe yourself? Passionate, resilient, fun.

If you could have a walk-out song at a game, what song would you choose? I grew up dancing to Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas. So I’d have to say Boom Boom Pow. It just brings back the energy I had as a young dancer learning hip hop!

Fun fact about yourself? I speak Russian after living in Ukraine for a year and a half.

Favorite color? I love purple!

What is your favorite food? I love Sushi, Massaman curry, and Boba!

Dream vacation destination? I’ve always dreamed of going to the Maldives and staying in a little hut on the water!
