MASKED + ANSWERED
QUARANTINE IN A NUTSHELL “Adaptation.”
QUARANTINE HIGHLIGHT “All the time I got to spend with my husband and daughter.”
QUARANTINE SNACK “G2G Protein Bar. Water is my No. 1, but I love Body Armor drinks, too.”
QUARANTINE INSPIRATION “I found the most inspiration while teaching. We switched to Zoom classes overnight, and I didn’t get to see dancers as often. So when I did, I loved seeing their commitment even when it wasn’t ideal space or flooring, or they had a bad connection. They pushed through and made the best of it.”
QUARANTINE OUTFIT “A comfy romper or leggings and a t-shirt.”
QUARANTINE TAKEAWAY “The sense of community. I love how people rallied together to support small local businesses.”
