My Story
With a passion for dance beginning at the age of three, I have trained in all genres of dance and trained and competed nationally with some of the most decorated companies in the Chicagoland area. I found a love for the stage and knew that that’s what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have trained as a competitive dancer from the age of five and have received various awards, titles, State Championships, and scholarships throughout her years. Training and performing with instructors such as Julianne and Derek Hough, Nappy Tabs, Brooke Lipton, Tessandra Chavez, Brian Friedman, and Chris Judd as well as training as a protege for The Pulse On Tour. My training continued professionally dancing and performing for some of the world’s leading entertainment companies such as Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando leading in various parades, shows, and television performances.
I wanted to share my passion for dance with others- soon I fell in love with teaching and choreographing. From educating dancers as a director and social media manager of LM Premier Dance for the past 7 years to being the head coach of Griffith Varsity Pantherettes to being a faculty convention teacher and judge for Activate Your Artistry and now assisting and choreographing for Gold Xplosion All Stars. I take so much pride in my dancers, my choreography, and the education I get share with every class that I’m privileged to teach.
With award-winning choreography being nominated for Artistic Excellence- Choreographer of The Year 2024, “Best Contemporary Studio” and “Best Choreography” at The Trifecta Contemporary Awards 2023 & 2024 and additionally top scoring, national and title winning choreography- I strive to take dancers to the next level whether that is college dance, dance programs, the dance industry, and more! I hope to continue to inspire and motivate dancers every single day. I can’t wait to share the classroom with you!
