Education

About me

I am a Vancouver-based artist whose dynamic performance ability, and versatile background, inform my work in dance, theatre, and choreography. Movement has been an integral part of my life since the age of 4. I am a graduate of the Edmonton School of Ballet’s professional program, and have studied across Canada, embracing numerous styles of dance throughout my life. I am consistently expanding my repertoire in the performing arts, including voice, acting, and circus. I have completed three summers with Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, participating in dance and choreography residencies, under the Artistic Direction of Emily Molnar.

As a performing artist, dance educator and choreographer, I have worked across Canada on both large and small-scale productions, in a variety of disciplines, from contemporary dance to musical theatre. I am interested in reflecting the world we live in through my artistic practice. My creation process brings images and ideas to life by connecting with audiences through real-life, story-driven material that challenges the performers and explores a variety of dynamics, textures and moods.
