I am a dance educator dedicated to creativity, expression, and the discovery of the moving self. Dance connects students to the wider world through exploration, risk-taking, and collaboration. Through experiencing dance, my students grow not only as technicians, but as curious, independent thinkers and problem-solvers. In a safe and supportive space, they learn to experiment, critique, revise, and reflect, understanding that process is as valuable as product.
As a choreographer and teacher, I bring an interdisciplinary, inquiry-based approach that is engaging, relevant, and rooted in cultural understanding. Every student deserves to feel supported, challenged, and joyful in the studio. I work with an open heart, a hopeful mind, and a commitment to helping each dancer find the synchronicity between technique, passion, and performance.
I'm equally passionate about helping schools harness the transdisciplinary power of movement beyond the dance studio. I have a Master’s Degree in Dance Education and have always dedicated myself towards pedagogy, curriculum design, and student-centered research. I work with school communities to build student agency, spark creativity, and strengthen community through joyful, full-body learning; helping educators see movement not as a single subject, but as a tool that can enrich learning across the curriculum.
