CHOREOGRAPHY

Dance has been a part of my life for 25 years, and theatre for over 15. I have a robust amount of experience as an actor and choreographer; working with ages 6-65 and all dance experience levels. Growing up in Houston, I danced with many studios and teams studying ballet, tap, jazz, kick, pom, modern, and improv.


Upon my first encounter with musical theatre, I fell in love. I went on to study Acting and Directing at the University of North Texas in Denton and have been working in the DFW theatre industry ever since. Choreography is a way for me to marry my two passions: dance and theatre.

​

For me, choreography is about enhancing the environment of the play, telling the story through movement. It's about forwarding the characters' journeys through another avenue when words aren't enough.
