A little bit about me...

Growing up I was always completely surrounded by live music. My father is an incredibly well-rounded self-taught musician, and inspiring performer. My mother was also a Drum Major in a drum corps. This explains why my basis for choreography is understanding the characteristics in musicality. I was very lucky to have been able to train at such a highly-disciplined and professional dance school in Brampton, Ontario "Joanne Chapman School of Dance". From the age of 10, I was highly competitive in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Lyrical, Hip Hop, & Contemporary. There, I also attained my BATD Stage Membership with an exam score of 98%.

Immediately after graduating, I became a dancer on the Mariner of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) completing a 9-month contract. That marked the beginning of my passion becoming my living. Since then, I have had the privilege of performing on some of North America's most prominent stages; from Radio City Music Hall to the Kodak Theatre in LA. I also enjoy creating works for Film & TV as well, working with Toronto artists: Shawn Desman (Video: "Shiver"), Aleesia (Video: "Not That Girl"), Chach (Video: "Material World").

Currently living in Toronto, I'm exploring the world one show at a time :)
