Born in Beaver, PA, but raised in Nashville, TN, I've always been into entertainment period growing up. I've always danced, but only by myself in my room or when my mom wasn't home. By highschool, I was itching to try the dancing out seeing as how I always imitated artists just for fun for my friends knowing all the dance routines from music videos. My friends would always ask if I could dance for real, but I always shied away from it. 

At the end of my senior year, I got a taste of trying dance out and even though I had a lot to learn about dancing period, I decided I wanted to take it on. When college came around I got the development I was looking for by joining our performing arts company and meeting people that have helped me get to where I am now in dance. I eventually moved into choreography becoming one of the most anticipated choreographers whose pieces people looked foward to seeing for my imaginiative themes and choreography as well as entertainment value. 

My style has been described as what you would see in music videos and tours/live performances as well as other various entertainment streams. I am inspried largely by Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, the Pop and R&B era of the late 90's and early 00's, broadway musicals, Usher and various choreographers that work in the industry at the moment. I draw inspiration sometimes from conversations I'm having, movies and even just being out somewhere and something catches my eye and sparks my imagination. I love the performance aspect of dance, it's the greatest feeling performing for a crowd and I love having entertained the audience and taking them on a trip.

Thank You,
