What is Art?
Everyone lives in a box.
Our experiences, likes, loves, dislikes, and hates are what makes up the insides of our box.
Some artists try to think outside of their box.
Some artists just want to imitate others.
Some artists try to break the mold and break down their box.
I put a window on my box for all to look in and see.
I grew up in the small town of Camden in Upstate New York where I trained under Delia Foley (American Royal Academy of Dance) and received a pass with Merit to the Advanced level. I then toured with Albany Berkshire Ballet under Madeline Calpo.
I attended The University of Missouri in Kansas City under Paula Weber and graduated with BFA in Classical Ballet.
After graduation, I danced with Montgomery Ballet, Richmond Ballet, Ballet Theatre of Maryland, Manassas Ballet. I found my home at Roanoke Ballet Theatre. where I received coaching from Rolando Sarabia.
My passion for choreography started at Manassas Ballet Theatre with several main stage shows and continued to grow with over 30 smaller works and lecture demonstrations at Roanoke Ballet Theatre. I have enjoyed the challenge of working with both small and large venues, museums and various stages to present my works.
