I am a multi/interdisciplinary artist, educator, and healthcare worker who makes somatic physical choreographies. 

My research is intricately woven at the crossroads of physical and social sciences, where emergent ideas of connection, resilience, and transformation take shape through human-centered designs. Drawing from my extensive background as a healthcare worker and former elite athlete, my commitment to somatic physicality serves as both a healing and liberating practice and a foundational choreographic methodology. 

My creative process is deeply rooted in extensive research, physical exploration, conversation and play, supported by long-term collaborations. I draw from a diverse range of disciplines—such as contact-based forms, visual art, poetry, athletics, contemporary dance, material design, technology, and sound design—to process ideas and engage with overlapping conversations from multiple perspectives. With an experimental and improvisational zest, these disciplines help me to build worlds with my collaborators, that ignite physical practice and the crystallization of choreographic material and structure. My work is often described as fiery, mature, and rhythmically unexpected, where bodies entwine in organic yet surprising ways. It manifests in live immersive performances, films, and interactive installations, thriving in the intricate interplay of care and rigor. 

In 2013, Falcon Dance formed into an interdisciplinary project based creative team that explores corporeality through performance. The work is highly collaborative and would simply not exist without the significant contributions in movement, ideas, and words from each artist. As a director, the growth of my artistry, and each project's growth, is wholeheartedly through the beautiful wisdom, friendship, and connection I gain from these collaborators. 

Additionally I have been a guest artist and educator at several esteemed institutions, including American Dance Festival, Bates Dance Festival, Colorado Mesa University, The University of Hartford, New York University, and others. I currently collaborate with Kendra Portier/BANDPortier, Keith Thompson/Dance Exchange Productions, Rebecca Steinberg, Javier Padilla/side projects dc, and Falcon Dance. I hold an MFA from the University of Maryland, a BFA from The College at Brockport, and an Associates in Occupational Studies from The Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences.
