I am originally from Sacramento, CA, where I received a BA in Child Development from Sacramento State University.

I developed a passion for dance early in my career where I attended a Sacramento Performing Arts High School. I dedicated my childhood to the art, studying at Step One Dance & Fitness, Dean Dance Center, and Marguerite Phares Ballet School.

My passion for the art continued, as a teaching artist for the Music Center: Performing ArtsCenter of Los Angeles County.

Hard work, dedication, and persistence provided me the opportunity to be featured in a variety of arts genres, receiving professional credits in Television- National H&R block commercial, an A Magazine story, Sierra in peril; Theatre- Pasadena Playhouse “Ray Charles Live”, Disney’s "Beauty and the Beast", "Footloose", and "Got Rhythm!".

This memorable experience has helped shape my deep love for teaching. I was given a gift and granted the opportunity to become
teacher for United Spirit Association, master teacher for Natomas Charter School, Galena Street East School, and Orlando Ballet School.

I developed a dance curriculum with the idea of exposing children to the art of dance, entitled, Art Saves Lives aligned with State Standards for the Arts and utilized in 2009 by the Inglewood School District.

I have also had the opportunity to train at the school of The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre in New York.

I am currently an Educator of Dance at Bright Star Secondary Academy, where I act as educational leader for students participating in extra-curricular dance activities, develop curriculum, design classroom culture, collaborate with Arts colleagues on arts related related functions with the School, coordinate auditions, plan field trips dedicated to understanding the art of dance, and coordinate and facilitate recruiting for the dance program.
