I am a modern and ballet dancer and choreographer. I trained with Margie Gillis, Kimberly Glasco, Hans Meister, Jennifer Swan, Robert Wood, and members of the National Ballet of Canada. From 2000-2003 I was a member of the Johns Hopkins University Modern Dance Company, under the artistic direction of Marilyn Byers. I performed with the University of Hawaii's Dance Program in 2003-2004.
While studying in Cambridge, UK, I danced with the Queens' Contemporary Dance Group and performed many solos in Sprung!. I choreographed group works for the CU Contemporary Dance Workshop. I instituted pre-dinner performances at Emmanuel College and performed two pairs of solos. I took class and performed with the CU Ballet Club, including a trip to Russia in 2005. I learned ballroom and Latin dance through the Cambridge Dancers' Club. Also, I regularly attended modern dance classes and workshops at The Place in London.
In 2010, I performed with upRooted Dance in Washington, DC. Currently, I am a guest teacher and choreographer with the Johns Hopkins University Modern Dance Company.
