I’m a dancer, aerialist & choreographer from a small town in Ohio and now l live in Los Angeles. As a kid, I loved student government and dancing. My college years were split between congressional internships on Capital Hill and co-running a dance company. After graduating from Oberlin College with a BA in Politics and Dance & Choreography, my first job was as assistant to a media consultant at GMMB Washington DC. Only after a year, my artistic side prevailed as I moved to LA to pursue dance but I continued using my political skills,.First by working in fundraising and then as Marketing Director for a live show produced at the King King in Hollywood called L’effleur des Sens.
In 2011 I suffered an external tib/fib fracture coupled with a compound ankle fracture during Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” World Tour. My doctors feared that I’d never dance again, but after three surgeries and extensive physical therapy in the capable hands of the Cedar Sinai/USC Dance Medicine Orthopedic Department, I achieved a complete recovery. My first job post-injury was as an aerialist & dancer for the Motley Crue World Tour in 2013.
I’m a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Physical Mind Pilates Certified Instructor and I’m a corrective massage therapist under the tutelage of Master Healer, Sensei Michael Tan of SEA Bodywork.
As I complete my 20th year as commercial dancer and 13th as an aerialist, I am now branching out as an educator. In 2019, I launched WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND SILKS, an online silks course geared towards beginner to intermediate aerialists. I teach locally at Womack and Bowman: The Loft. I write a dance advice column for Backstage Magazine, an entertainment industry trade publication and Bloc Talent Agency represents me as a performer and choreographer.
