At heart, I am an artist who loves to create and perform
I am a classically trained vocalist with roots in gospel & jazz, a club competitive gymnast and professionally trained dancer, and a passionate director, choreographer, and teacher.
My body of work spans from developmental/laboratory theatre to international tours; teaching and directing children in war-torn countries to being directed by Harold Prince for New York City Opera.
I believe it to be true, “if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
