ABOUT AYANA
Ayana has spent a majority of her time living in the beautiful mountains of Colorado and is a mountain
girl #4lyfe. From a young age, her mom realized that all
of her fun and outgoing energy needed to be utilized,
enrolling her in every dance class possible. From her love
of dance developed a love for storytelling and theatre, which led to a move to the ~semi~ big city to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Ayana is a current senior, and is preparing for her move to the actual!! big city, where she can’t wait to continue to tell a diverse array of stories.
Ayana is rooted in her belief of making sure all voices are heard and works to create a space for individuals to be seen in the light. She is a firecracker that is willing to face adversity head on, a quality passed down from her badass mama.
When Ayana is not in class or in a performance, you can
find her doing portrait photography, making smoothies, working out, eating hummus, and obsessing over every dog she sees on the street.
