Whitney's Bio

Born to a single mother in the town of Lewiston, Idaho.  Moved back to Montana at the age of 4 to be closer to her family.  Began ice skating on local outdoor rinks that same year.  Her mother remarried when she was 5 years old.  She then began showing an interest in performing starting in kindergarten.  She was always singing and dancing on her own, but the real test was when she had to get up in front of an audience.  She passed with flying colors and from that year on she was auditioning for solos and little parts.  When she moved to Lame Deer, MT, she joined the dance team and realized she had a talent there too, but wouldn’t be until they moved to Butte that she would finally get to incorporate everything together.  She then began taking private Figure skating lessons at the age of 12 and have been competing and testing USFSA and ISI ever since.  The biggest competition she had was the USFA Idaho Winter Open in Boise Idaho where she placed with a Gold and a Bronze medal.  When her family made the move to Butte she started getting involved with the community theater where she started being able to Dance, Sing, and act all in one place.  She was also involved on the school dance team and she was a member of the Drama Team.  She later competed on the speech and debate team.   She continued taking skating lessons but she was driving to Bozeman twice a week for lessons and missing a lot of school.   She got used to sleeping when she could.  She then began taking private voice through the theater and started working on her opera training.  She has since continued that through her college years, with hopes to pursue a degree in theater and music.  She began attending the Univ. of La Verne after a drastic move to California her senior year of high school.  There she has continued all of her ambitions with hopes to receive a degree this spring in French and she will continue in order to earn a music and theater degree as well as working on finishing my USFSA tests in Figure Skating.
