Summary

I’ve grown up with the arts being a huge part of my life. Starting with dance when I was 4, working with my dad’s theatre company in my formative years, eventually becoming a part of Joyful Soles’ Proclamation Dance Company. This lead me to teaching dance classes and becoming a freelance artist.

I love art in all its forms, and I’m passionate about creative movement, visual storytelling, individuality, and not pulling artistic and creative punches!
