As a former professional dancer and teacher of over 20 years, she has a deep understanding of both the aesthetic requirements and the psycho-emotional rigors of training and performance. Her approach to cross-training incorporates embodied anatomy, somatic practices, breath work, and an individualized analysis of technique.

In 2000 she earned her BA in Sociology and Performing Arts from La Roche University. She has been an outreach artist in the Pittsburgh city school system and worked with children with autism through the University of Pittsburgh Medical System and with underserved kids in various settings including after-school programs and detention facilities.

Her teaching style invites self-compassion, curiosity, and empowerment so that a movement practice, no matter what kind, is an act of care towards oneself.
