In a nutshell...
Before pursuing education, I launched into a career in professional dance directly after receiving my bachelor degree in dance performance from Illinois State University. Not finding exactly what I was looking for in the professional dance world, I co-founded Chicago Dance Crash and created the world I wanted to both build and be a part of. Following my departure as a performing member of Chicago Dance Crash, I found my new home as an assistant artistic director and principal performer with Inspiración Dance Chicago, an international touring company with an emphasis on Latin dance.
Currently the dance teacher at Peirce School of International Studies, as well as a board member of Chicago Dance Crash, I have loved teaching dance and fostering the passion for the arts within my students. The opportunity to nurture expression and performance within the Peirce school community has been incredibly fulfilling. I constantly look to instill the ideas of perseverance, discipline, creativity, and expression through movement within each of the students that enters my room.
