Being a dancer has been central to my identity for as long as I can remember. I began classes at age three, completely fell in love, and continued training for fifteen years — competitively for over ten. The core of my education is in ballet, but I love contemporary and modern movement, as well as jazz.

Outside of the studio, I work in childcare and plan to pursue a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. I dabble in several creative mediums, but spend most of my free time writing and taking photos.

After working in Communications and Public Relations across the technology and music industries for the past few years, I’ve found my way back to my passion — teaching this time around. Being at Dance LA has reconnected me with the courage I’ve built through dance, the inspiration it has sparked in me, and the sense of belonging it provides.

I believe that the most powerful benefit of dance — regardless of level — is the emotional regulation and self-discovery that happens in the studio. Through my teaching, I am so grateful to share my deep love of dance and its magic with every person who walks into class!
