EXPLORATION of training, performing and teaching has led me to instruct and choreograph with an approach of connectivity and purposeful direction.

My work has blessed me with countless opportunities to connect with brilliant artists. For over twenty-five years, I have worked in the realm of concert dance. Prior to my move to San Diego, I performed in the Bay Area with ODC/San Francisco Dance Company, taught at Mills College and community training facilities such as Berkeley Ballet and Shawl-Anderson Dance Center.

In addition to ODC/San Francisco, my performing credits include Wylliams / Henry Contemporary Dance Company (Kansas City), Dance Esaias (Miami), Na-Ni Chen Dance Company (NYC), East/West Repertory Ensemble (NYC), New World Dance Company (Washington D.C.), Soundance Dance Company (NYC), Malashock Dance Company (San Diego), The San Diego Opera's "Nixon In China" (as principal dancer) choreographed by Sean Curran, The Broadway production and first national touring company of "The King and I" (as principal dancer, "Eliza") choreographed by Lar Lubovitch.

Duke Ellington High School of Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., opened my eyes to the world of concert dance. I furthered my studies at the University of Arts in Philadelphia before continuing my performing career. I received my Horton Pedagogy Certification from the Alvin Ailey School in NYC and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts from Saint Mary's College of California.

I currently hold the faculty positions at San Diego State University, Lynch Dance Institute and Visionary Dance Theater.
