I am available for commissions to create rhythm-driven contemporary and jazz dance works. Drawing on my collaborative experience with ensembles like JazzAntiqua Dance and Music Ensemble and various post-secondary institutions, I work closely with dancers to craft pieces that celebrate diversity and cultural richness. Whether for professional companies or university dance programs, my choreography is grounded in technical rigor and innovative storytelling.

I offer masterclasses in Contemporary Jazz and Ailey Horton Technique. My teaching philosophy is informed by my ongoing Ailey Teacher Certification pursuits, my Simonson Technique Teacher Training Certification, and my extensive experience as an Assistant Professor of Dance at Loyola Marymount University. I am available to work with:

• University and college dance programs

• Professional dance companies

• Intensive workshops and festivals

With a PhD in Dance Studies and a background in Sociology and Journalism, I offer guest lectures, panels, and presentations on the intersections of dance and academia. Key topics include:

• Dance and Rhetoric: Exploring the communicative power of movement.

• Dance in Higher Education: Navigating curricula, commercial dance, and professional training.

• Jazz History: Insights into codification and the cultural evolution of the genre.

I have previously presented at major conferences, including the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO), the International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD), and the World Dance Alliance (WDA).
