With over 15 years of dance experience and a BFA in Musical Theatre, I am a Portland-based teaching artist passionate about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth through the performing arts. I specialize in musical theatre performance and dance, creating inclusive and supportive spaces where students of all backgrounds can thrive.

My teaching emphasizes technical proficiency, artistry, and collaboration, with a focus on consent-based and antiracist practices. I prioritize clear communication, trust, and respect to ensure students feel safe and empowered. Drawing on my experience with adults with developmental disabilities, I tailor instruction to meet diverse learning needs, using adaptable techniques to help every student succeed.

I believe art is for everyone and has the power to inspire and connect. My goal is to create environments where students feel valued and confident, building skills that enhance both their craft and their joy in life.
