Current Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Career Highlight:

Touring the country dancing with people I LOVE and inspiring people along the way through performing and teaching dance.

Greatest Life Accomplishment:

Personally: Getting married to my wonderful husband.
Professionally: Growing as a person and as a dancer and working to grow the dance community in southern California and beyond with Lineage Dance for the past 8 years.

How I got involved:

There was never a doubt in my mind or my soul that my passion is dance. When I was 3, I asked my Mom to take me to dance class. Now I've been dancing for 27 years. I've been dancing professionally for 8 years and sharing my passion for dance by teaching all ages for the past 10 years.

Inspiration:

The way dancing makes me feel is an inspiration in itself to keep me dancing. I love creating art with others that are driven by the same passion and we inspire each other.

Cause Related/Green Planet Efforts: I bring my own canvas bags when I go shopping. Shut off lights around the house. I recycle. I car pool whenever possible.
