Classically trained, my work is informed by refined techniques including ballet, jazz, and modern dance, ultimately resulting in rich, full-bodied contemporary movement.
My passion for movement is seen in performance where emotion ignites both soul and body through raw, authentic expression of self.
​
I am a diligent worker who values quality results, details, and learns quickly. I am able to creatively adapt to change, clearly communicate ideas/issues, and work efficiently to create solutions.
I can lead people to accomplish a task by constructing effective goals and providing a framework to achieve those goals.
