Heather began taking ballet classes at age three and absolutely fell in love with dance!

Heather attended a performing arts high school in Sacramento. Her senior year she was awarded a place at the YoungArts program in Miami, Florida and became a Presidential Scholar in the Arts. She continued her education at Brigham Young University studying Music Dance Theater and spent two years touring with The Young Ambassadors to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
