I am a dance artist, educator, and writer navigating spaces of contemporaneity, hybridity, and globalization.

I approach choreography as a research tool, and performance as an ephemeral exchange between audience and artist. My work utilizes a hybrid vocabulary culled from my training in modern, ballet, and bharatanatyam dance forms. And, I am most interested in stories of transition/transformation.

My choreographic work has been presented around the midwest, New York City, and the United Kingdom with grant support received from the Chicago Dancemakers Forum, Puffin Foundation, Links Hall, Chicago Cultural Center, Illinois Arts Council, and the National Endowment of the Arts. Scholarly work has been presented at NYU, World Dance Alliance, and Dance Studies Association.

I hold a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; and Graduate Laban Certificate in Movement Analysis from Columbia College Chicago. I am on faculty at Columbia College Chicago and coordinate the dance program at Northeastern Illinois University.
