I'm a Choreographer, Artistic Director and Dance Teacher. I believe what sets me apart from others is my wide range of experience. A native of Portland, Oregon, I first got the urge to become a professional dancer and choreographer at the age of 12 when I became a principle dancer for the Northwest Afrikan American Ballet (NWAAB) under the Artistic Direction of Bruce Smith. For 7 years I traveled throughout the US and Europe performing and sharing their art. NWAAB gave me the opportunity to perform a month long tour in Edinburgh, Scotland at the Fringe Festival. 

In 2000-2001, I was a Company Member for the famed Jefferson Dancers in Portland, OR; under the Artistic Direction of Steve Gonzales. We traveled across the country performing and training in Ballet, Jazz, African and Modern with some of the top choreographers in the world. I continue to give back by choreographing African and Hip Hop pieces for the Jefferson Dancers.       

While in Portland, OR, I danced for WNBA Portland Fire Jam Squad, Portland Trail Blazers Hip Hop Squad, and Rip City Crew. Held weekly Dance classes for the last 15 years at many local studios. I've had the opportunity to choreograph for Pro Teams, Collegiate Teams and High School Teams all over the USA. 

While living in Los Angeles for 8 years, I trained with many well known choreographers. Along with my continual training, I gained opportunities such as being selected to debut my Choreographic work at the famous Carnival Choreographer’s Ball, held a weekly dance class at IDA Hollywood, Choreographing and Artistically working with artists for various Video shoots, auditioning, etc. These experiences allowed me to set roots in Los Angeles, CA. 

While feeling grateful to have my roots in Los Angeles, CA, I currently reside in Portland, OR where my first love is LYFE Dance Company. As the Artistic Director for LYFE, I continue creating and choreographing energetic and exciting pieces that are performed for a wide range of audiences. We've performed for a variety of audiences over the past 20 years. 

I continue dancing, choreographing and providing inspired dancers a chance to perform and express through movement through my dance classes, various performances opportunities, LYFE Dance Company, and most recently my newest endeavor; Dance Mentorship Program.
