Roots

 

Following a near decade-long, international career as a Professional Ballerina, my experience in performing arts drew me to Broadway stages across the country. From ensemble work in An American in Paris, I went on to star as Sillabub in the 2016 CATS Broadway revival in New York City. In my final bow on stage, I brought the role of Veruca Salt to life in the First National Tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

In 2020, I moved back to my home-town Sausalito to explore my creativity and expression in a new ways, focusing on serving the empowerment and healing of others on their own path of becoming.

The same year, I co-wrote, produced and starred in my first short-film, Busted. The film was featured at the San Francisco Film Festival and Los Angeles Indie Film Festival receiving nominations and nods along the way.

New Chapters

In 2021, I co-founded Artists Becoming alongside Shelby Elsbree, with a mission to elevate standards of well-being across the performing arts industry. Our platform facilitated well-being consulting, yoga and meditation programming, and mentorship for performing arts institutions and individuals.

Notably, we launched the Artists Becoming podcast which spotlighted stories of Ballerinas, Olympians, Broadway Stars, and well-being experts.

 

Present


Today, I translate my history in storytelling on stages, screens, and stereos into my role as a Podcast Producer. Through this medium I weave together my passion and expertise in well-being and the arts, shaping audio experiences that educate, connect, and inspire.
