About Me
I am a University of Arizona School of Dance graduate with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and Arts Management Minor. After graduation I joined Mareck Dance (formerly Missouri Contemporary Ballet) then Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre in Chicago. I am currently represented by The Rock Agency and also work with various production companies across the city. I am an advocate for all art forms and other humanistic interests. I have always strived to be a versatile, well-rounded, and authentic artist and human.
