MY STORY
I grew up in Santa Cruz, CA, running wild through the redwoods and putting on talent shows for my family. At age 10, I dove into competitive dance. I was a serious and ambitious kid, struggling whenever I wasn’t the best at everything I did. My hard work led to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, multiple competition wins, and an acceptance to Juilliard at 16.
While training in NYC, I reached a breaking point and questioned my purpose. Was I dancing for validation or something deeper? I started my journey of decolonizing my mind embracing choreography, painting, and writing, along with meditation and yoga. These practices helped me confront my inner demons and became my tools for true self-discovery.
Now, after 10+ years as a choreographer and multimedia artist—featured in The LA Times and NPR—I’m eager to share the tools and perspectives I've learned that can help you liberate your unique creative expression.
"Creativity is not just about making art or building a business—it's about serving something greater than yourself. It's about learning to become a conduit for the Divine."
