What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining choreography, teaching, and performance within a collaborative arts organization that values mentorship, creative growth, stable scheduling, and opportunities to lead productions and develop young talent.

I am a dedicated choreographer, dance instructor, and professional performer with extensive experience creating choreography and teaching students ages 2–16 in jazz, ballet, modern, African, hip-hop, jazz-funk and contemporary styles. I balance studio teaching and curriculum development with professional stage work and high-profile performance bookings across music videos, festivals, and theater productions.

I also bring practical leadership and operations experience from retail, hospitality, and warehouse roles—managing inventory, coordinating logistics, and supervising teams—combined with strong customer-service, styling, and social-media skills that support productions and client-facing projects. I mentor young dancers, design age-appropriate class plans, and thrive in collaborative, creative environments that value growth and teaching.
