ABOUT ME
EXPERIENCE
My journey through the worlds of education, movement, and STEM has been a dynamic blend of creativity, innovation, and a deep commitment to holistic development. As a freelance writer, coach, and performer I have fostered hubs of diverse learning experiences that echo community growth. From teaching toddlers how to take their first steps onto the ice or providing physical cues that support the tactile development of up-and-coming dancers to empowering peers to improve wellness resources in their environment, I continue to share a message of connection and empathy through performance and science.
