When words fall short, movement helps me best describe and express myself. Dance has become my outlet in life: it is my medicine, my sanity and what keeps me grounded. Movement has helped me heal, connect with myself on a deeper level, and makes me feel most alive. It is my way of being and becoming more of who I truly am in the most vulnerable form.

I believe in pushing limits and taking risks with creative expression in choreography. My work contains bold, athletic movement that encompasses ever-changing shifts in quality, direction, utilizes breath and weight, and tells a story. The story is not necessarily a specific narrative, but it evokes a strong feeling and connection to the work on a personal level to those watching, often leaving them reflective, inspired, or considerate of other perspectives. My hard-hitting movement mixed with subtle details is a signature in my work. Quite frequently, there is athleticism mixed with grace. I seek contrast within a piece while still maintaining cohesiveness to the theme. I take my classical training in modern, ballet, jazz, and other various forms of dance and infuse theatrical expression and gesture throughout.

Dance is a way of healing and finding acceptance within one’s own life. Socially charged work and personal experiences have motivated my creative endeavors. My mission is to bring awareness to the surface that which remains unseen or unspoken. Everyone has a story to tell- I tell mine through my body.
