ABOUT ME
Thanks for being here :)
I grew up in San Clemente, CA in the competitive dance to musical theatre pipeline. Then, moved to Las Vegas, NV for high school, where I became involved in our educational shows as a performer and choreographer. I've always felt connected to theatre education, and as a freshman in high school, began brainstorming a safe, inclusive dance environment for ages 4-18. A Time to Dance opened its doors in 2017 with the support of LMCA performing arts and The Lytle Family. The remainder of my high school career was spent fostering the growth of our students, creating dynamic performance projects, and cultivating an atmosphere that centered on the joy of dance.
I got my BFA in Musical Theatre from Texas Tech, performing in a handful of projects including A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity, and capping my time at Tech with Xanadu. While in school, I also served as Director of Dance at Horizon performing arts, a Ballet Lubbock Instructor, the Pom Coach for AllSaints High School, and began my career in modeling. I worked with brands including Julian Gold, Malouf's, Vuori, and Set Active both on the runway and in the print world. Outside of performing arts, I have a heart for animals and living a sustainable life. I spent my summer living on a cattle ranch on the Mauna Kea Volcano of Hawaii, working with horses, tending to the garden, and teaching with Guiding Steps dance school.
I owe so much of who I am and what I do to my family, friends, educators, and mentors.

EDUCATION & OUTREACH
As much as I love performing, I feel particularly connected to implementing accessible theatre in my community. Check out some of my favorite organizations I've worked with! For an education and choreography resume, reach out via email!
Ballet Lubbock's pre-professional program offers training in technique, expression, and performance for ages 3 to adult. They are most well known for their famous Nutcracker Ballet, featuring the Ballet Lubbock school and guest artists from companies like Ballet Hispánico.
Dance Connect is a Ballet Lubbock program that teaches the foundations of dance in our LISD public school system. Teachers are sent to schools free of charge to implement technique and expression to any participating dancer.
AllSaints is a college-prepatory academy for middle and highschool students. Their young dance/pom team has made multiple appearences at the TAPPS dance championship and most recently placd fourth overall in the state.
Horizon is the youth prepatory program ran under Lubbock's Wallace Theatre. These students learn shows from the ground up, tackling a new theatrical component with each performance. We also college counsel, voice train, and offer specialized dance skills training to prep high school students for college audition season.
Moonlight offers dynamic summer seasons in one of Texas's larger outdoor theatres. They have a heart for our local community and provide training in youth and young adult programs.
A Time to Dance is a Las Vegas studio I co-founded in 2017. The studio was created as a way to offer dance technique and performance oppurtunities, without the toxic mind and body harming curriculum that can sometimes develop in competition studios.
