I was introduced to dance through sticker-incentivized baby ballet classes. Since then, I have occupied studios, or living canvases, all of my life. I trained solely in ballet in my childhood in Baltimore, Maryland, until I transferred to The South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities. I learned Horton and Graham technique from Tracy Vogt, who also mentored me in one of my first dance creations. I presented my choreography for the first time in 2020, and was determined to continue to hone my craft and passion for choreography. I am currently doing so at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and expect to graduate in May 2024. One of the highlights of being in the program has been learning about creative process methods. Through the art of dance, I am drawn to time travel and the audience's ability to recognize honest connections. The endless, intricate embodiments of music inspire me. I choose to dance in this life as life dances around me. I am interested in harnessing all of its ridiculousness, good or bad, for groups of people in time and space.
