About Me!
Hi! I'm Peyton, and I live in the NYC area. I am a very active person with lots of hobbies and interests. I've been dancing since I was 3, and acting since I was 4. I am also passionate about directing, cello, horseback riding, ice skating, creative writing, and art. In between auditions and dance classes, I can be found reading, watching TV, baking, or spending time with my amazing colleagues and friends!
Horseback riding/pony!
Growing up I was always around horses and ridding and then in high school I did Hunter Jumper english ridding. I have always had a love for horses and enjoy any time I get to spend with these lovely animals!
Dance!
Since I was 3 years old you could find me most days in a dance class. I did competition dance growing up as well as Ballet training at The American Ballet Theatre young dancer program. Dance has always been a huge passion of mine and I still take classes at Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway whenever I get a chance!
Water Skiing!
One might be thinking, "Oh Peyton just put down that you know how to ski," and sure yeah I can water ski like a pro (pictured) but I am in kinda, a little bit, maybe, scared of snow skiing. But! i've always wanted to try it so, hey maybe one day soon i won't be anymore!
Figure Skating!
There is nothing like being on the ice for me. I love it. The smell of the rink, the chill that you get stepping into the cold, the sound of blades cutting through the ice... now that's my heaven! I have been ice skating for 7 years (ah already 7)! I even taught kids (and adults sometimes) how to skate throughout high school and worked at the rink in maybe different ways. I still ice skate whenever I get a chance!
sitting :)
If you know me you know I'm normally sitting is some weird way! Here is a fun photo my friend Scarlett captured on a break from our class. Here is just a warning, i'll probably be sitting in a split if I can!
On set!
Here is a behind the scenes photo of me being an AD! I LOVE scheduling and being on time for everything, soooo being an AD is definitely something I enjoy doing behind the camera.

Here is a photo of me (on the right) and my older sister (the left) in our dance costumes!
Doggy love!
I am really just a huge animal lover (i mean i am vegan), but growing up with dogs always in my house has made me have such a love for dogs. I dog sit, which is basically me finding a way to be around a puppy every few weeks. I plan on getting a golden doodle one day (hopefully soon) and naming it banana (there is a story behind me wanting to name a dog banana if ya want to hear it)!
Gym/exercise woohoo!
As you can probably tell from the dancing and ice skating that I love exercising. So when I'm not on the ice or in a dance studio you can normally find me at the gym doing cardio (i don't really like doing all the weight lifting stuff, so i stick to running) or taking a pilates class!
