About Me

MFA Dance: Creative Practice // Yoga E-RYT®500

I am a choreographer, dance artist, and movement educator working at the intersection of performance, community practice, and social inquiry. I shape-shifts as a performer, choreographer, educator, curator, administrator, producer, and organizer. I am currently serving as Resident Curator with ODC Theater in San Francisco, teaching in universities and professional settings, as well as working on a new venture, Ephemeral Artery with the intention to uplift skillful practice and creative project development. My 200-hour yoga teacher training program, built specifically for dancers, welcomes its inaugural class in March 2026.

YOGA

I have been practicing yoga since 2007. My deep-rooted love of movement led me to develop a passion for the flow and vigor of power vinyasa. I completed her 200-hour teacher training through CorePower Yoga in 2012, and went on to explore with vinyasa, anusara, iyengar, and power teachers who have supported the deepening of my practice. I have since expanded my knowledge with yin, restorative, and yoga wall trainings, and completed a 300-hour alignment-based program through Yoga One San Diego in 2019. I have had the privilege of teaching throughout the US and abroad in a wide range of settings including private studios, colleges and universities, medical facilities, and teacher training programs. You can expect my offerings to be rooted in breath, anatomy, mindfulness, and intelligent sequencing.

I aspire to engage us in a mindful and meaningful relationship with movement that ignites a deeper sense of response-ability in our physical experience as human beings.

DANCE

My work engages diasporic memory, practices for collective liberation, and interdisciplinary form through live performance, film, and site-responsive installation. I creates for stages, urban environments, and digital platforms, centering collaboration and response-ability. I’ve danced since childhood, and earned a BA in Dance with Honors from UC Santa Barbara (2011), an MFA in Dance: Creative Practice with Honors from Saint Mary’s College of California (2017), a certificate in Nonprofit Management from the University of San Diego (2021), and a California Single Subject Teaching Credential for Dance (2022). I have created and shared dances in digital and performance formats in the US and abroad.

After nearly a decade of dancing professionally and producing dance projects in San Diego, I founded DISCO RIOT (est. 2018) - a nonprofit organization that supports creative possibilities for advancing the dance scene in my hometown. In 2023, I was a recipient of San Diego’s inaugural Far South/Border North award for artists working in socially engaged practice. My current evening-length performance work, A Call to Prayer, premiered in summer 2025 and is available for touring.
