Summary

Passionate about giving voice to the stories of others and connecting people through the arts, I am an active advocate for inclusive dance education and performance opportunities. I believe by establishing quality arts education, media and entertainment programs; we nurture understanding, mutual respect and inclusion. Rolling down the physically integrated dance path has been a journey. I am grateful for those who paved the way before me and am committed to making the path smoother for those who come after me.
