Bio

Francesca has been Twirling since the age of five, where she was inspired to pick up a baton while watching her mother’s students twirl in parades when she was young. She is a third-generation Baton Twirler who has competed nationally and internationally in the sport. She possesses over 20 National and International titles, including two U.S. Gold Medals, which placed her and her sister on Team USA to compete in Ireland and Australia for the United States, and multiple national and international titles as a solo baton twirler as well as a pair with her sister.

Francesca graduated in 2018 from Northwest Christian University, and is now a full time Math and Science teacher at Briggs Middle School. She was crowned Miss University of Oregon in 2016 where she competed for the title of Miss Oregon 2016 with her talent of baton twirling. Teaching others and spreading the joy of this sport is something that Francesca is very passionate about. She also has more than 15 years of dance experience in Jazz, Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop, and Lyrical under her belt, and is excited to incorporate her dance experience into her Baton Twirling classes and Legacy Performance Groups here at Identity Dance Company.
