About
How it began ...
Perhaps it sounds cliché, but dance has been my tether to the human experience for as long as I can remember. At the tender age of six, I witnessed my very first dance performance, *The Nutcracker*. In that moment, I knew I had to dance, and so I began. Ever since, I haven't stopped.
There is a full life that breathes itself into my curiosities. My human self and artist self are intertwined—not one at the cost of the other, but instead a weaving—dancing amongst the joys and traumas, friendships and lovers, opportunities and longings.
I am devoted to the greatness that lies just beneath the surface, waiting to be revealed. I will likely spend the rest of my days endeavouring to share in the beauty of possibility.
Currently 2025 ...
After completing a semester as adjunct professor for the Conservatory of Performing Arts (COPA) at Point Park University, I've traveled to Europe to teach, exchange ideas, and explore. During my time in Europe, I had the opportunity to engage in various projects. In Lucerne, Switzerland, collaborating with Dario Dinuzzi. Additionally, Guest teaching in Würzburg, Germany, for Tanzcompanie Mainfranken, Rambert Comapny (UK) and Henny Jurriëns Studio in Amsterdam.
Currently, I am thrilled to be working with the artists of Ballet Edmonton as a guest rehearsal director and Community Dance Facilitator while continuing to immerse myself in the broader dance and movement landscape. My recent engagements include guest teaching for the Rambert Company (UK) and with the Alberta Ballet School, contributing to both the Affiliates Program and Adult Community classes. Guided by a deep passion for dance, I am dedicated to building meaningful connections within each community I engage, striving to make a lasting impact on both the art form and the people it touches.

Commitment
In my roles of leadership, my commitment is to encourage, facilitate, and uplift dance artists and the creative processes alike.
I am dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the desired outcome while delving into the realms of the unknown; uncovering the brilliance within each individual involved.
