I grew up in a competitive style dance studio in Broadview Hts. During my time here I had the chance to study many styles of dance. Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Hip hop, and contemporary to name a few. I have received many awards at competitions and conventions where I was given the chance to travel and learn from many teachers. After high school I received an internship with the Cleveland Verb Ballet. During  my months with The Verb I was able to work with many instructors and choreographers including Richard DIckinson, Kay Eichman, Christopher Flemming, and Terence Greene to name a few. I was also given the chance to perform incredible pieces such as WIngs and AIrs and The Myth and the Madness of Edgar Allen Poe, to name my two personal favorites. After my internship I went back to my home studio to teach and continue to train. After about three years I took a break from dance almost entirely. About one year later I received a scholarship to Terence Greene’s Summer intensive where I fell in love with the art again. Over the last two years I have been taking classes as much as I possibly can while working a full time job. I have also worked with Expedition Dance in that time frame, and had the chance to perform original pieces in the Cleveland and Columbus areas. I am currently working with Cleveland Dance Project as a company member and choreographer for their up coming showcase. I am looking forward to joining the CMC teaching team this year!
