I’m an artist and educator who’s happiest with a starry sky overhead and a good cup of tea in hand. I’ve been dancing around Chicago since 2014, performing, teaching, and growing as a principal dancer with the nationally renowned tap dance organization M.A.D.D. Rhythms. An improviser, I've busked with friends in the time-honored tradition of street performance. That venture grew into Broads On Boards, a crew I co-founded supporting women in tap dance. There’s nothing more interesting to me than —everything. I'm curious and always ready to start at the beginning. During my time in Chicago I earned a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering. Eventually collaborating with organizations such as NASA and the Illinois Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (I-MRSEC) to bring dance to their organizations. Out of that work came Momentary Magnetism, an NSF-funded project that explores magnetism through a cross-disciplinary lens of science and performance. My goal is to team up with curious minds to make even curious-er work—art that cracks open new questions, sparks conversation, and leaves room for wonder. Whether on stage, in the studio, or in the lab, I am dedicated to connecting people through rhythm, inquiry, and imagination.
