I am an artist and teacher, specializing in dance and video. I physicalize my ideas through movement and sound and shape and color.  My art has been presented in backyards, galleries, and theatre spaces across the United States, as well as in Colombia and New Zealand, with support from the Puffin Foundation, the Verdant Fund, the National Society of Arts and Letters, and an Alabama State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship. My creative practice is influenced by my experience working with artists that I admire, including Jennifer Monson, Sycamore Toffel, Rebecca Salzer, Jessie Young, and Lynn Bowman. In teaching, I have the opportunity to re-examine my creative methods through my students' perspectives. I believe that the exchange that happens in the classroom is integral to the expansiveness in my art. I have had the privilege to facilitate classes and workshops at Birmingham-Southern College (Alabama), the University of Wisconsin -  Milwaukee, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Danza Común (Bogotá, Colombia), Roco Dance (California) and various other institutions, festivals, and art centers. I hold an MFA in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a BA in Telecommunication and Film from the University of Alabama. I am a certified Somatic Movement Educator through Body-Mind Centering® and a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dance at the University of Idaho. In 2025, I joined the Body-Mind Centering® Association board of directors.
