Born and raised in Chicago, IL, I attended the Chicago Academy for the Arts where I graduated with the 2015 Outstanding Senior in Dance award. I then went on to study at the Alvin Ailey/Fordham University BFA Program on both academic and artistic-based scholarships. I transferred to New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Studies in 2017 where I received my BA in Economics & Performing Arts Management. During my final semester at NYU, I presented my colloquium on The Economics of the Performing Arts Industry - Commercial Theatre and Concert Dance.

I like to say I traded my tutus and Gaynors for Lulu skirts and LaDucas. I’ve danced works by James Kinney, John Vincent Leggio, and Nick Palmquist in New York City; have performed at Hersheypark and Dorney Park during their Christmas and Summer seasons; have been seen in regional productions of Chicago, Elf, Scrooge, Escape to Margaritaville and Little Shop of Horrors; and was the lead dancer, Maria Branwell, in Netflix’s The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience (Chicago).

I’m currently based in both New York City and Chicago, and am represented by Take 3 Talent. I am also on faculty at The Chicago Academy for the Arts where I teach Ballet for the Musical Theatre Department.

Since the Pandemic, I’ve utilized my degree, marketing expertise, and experience as a professional BIPOC performer to become a certified Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant. Click here to learn more about my DEI work!
