I’ve loved getting lost in the moment as a ballet dancer since grade school. Whether performing with the Lyric Opera of Kansas or the Kansas City Ballet, the resilience and discipline of classical dance has served me inside and outside the studio.

And now I’m grateful to share that passion and those life lessons by teaching the next generation.

I’ve also served in the Ballet Stars Outreach Program that helps disadvantaged youth boost their soft skills and and prepare them for academics through classical ballet instruction.

My passion for dance continues to shape my leadership both on and off the stage.
