Bryleigh grew up in the great state of Maine in a tiny little town called Gardiner. She completed her pre-college education there and enjoyed it extensively. In high school she played field hockey, and basketball, she continues to play both of those here at the university on club teams. Her favorite hobbies are going running and taking dance classes. She would actually find it more appropriate to say that dance is her passion, not just a hobby. She has been dancing since she was three years old and has been trained in tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, and hip-hop. She continued taking dance after high school by choosing dance as a minor and taking dance classes for credit here at the university of maine. If she had it her way, she would be living in New York pursueing a career on broadway or something like that, but unfortunatley she doesn’t have money to just up and move to New York and live life meal to meal looking for respectable dancing jobs. So, she will try her best to fulfil her dancing needs in Maine. Anyway, it came time for her to figure out what she wanted to do with her life at U-Maine, she knew that she was terrible at science, and even worse at Math, so it only seemed logical that she pursue something in writing. She has always enjoyed writing and reading and she also has always liked to be on camera. This is how she arrived at picking the major; broadcast journalism. Her plan so far is to get her degree, and once she graduates, to move to New York. Once in New York she will then pursue a dance career with a degree in her back pocket that she can use if the dancing dream doesn’t work out.
