HI! I am a New York City-based ballet and contemporary dancer and choreographer.
I began my professional career with Nevada Ballet Theatre and Columbia Classical Ballet. Since moving to New York, I have danced with Armitage Gone! Dance, Terra Firma Dance Theatre, Ballet Inc, Connecticut Ballet, Encounters Dance, Azoth Dance Theatre, Encounters Dance, and Nishikawa and Artists, among others. I have also performed in the works of Constantine Baecher, Sidra Bell, Hee Ra Yoo, Folawole, Richard Arnold Isaac, Ja’Malik, and Daniel Mantei Keene.
I received my classical ballet training from from Pavlovich Dance School and Southeastern School of Ballet in Columbia, SC, going on to receive my high school diploma from the North Carolina School of the Arts with a concentration in ballet. I trained in contemporary dance through Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet Professional Training Program. I continue to be coached by Nadege Hottier, director of Premiere Division Ballet.
My choreography has been performed by New Chamber Ballet, konverjdans, and Premiere Division Ballet, in New York, Italy, and Germany.
Im 2016, I received a degree from Columbia University’s School of General Studies (BA Anthropology), graduating summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and with the Dean’s Award in Anthropology.
