Fast Facts
In my classes, dancers explore modern and contemporary movement through interaction, creativity, and reflection. I encourage students to strive for their personal best with a focus on alignment, terminology, and engagement. Along the way, they discover their strength and begin to uncover their unique artistic voice.
I love being part of a Christ-centered university where I can pour into students passionate about the performing arts. AU has a unique collaboration of faculty and student growing together in excellence and artistry.
I wish students knew how many career pathways are open in the dance world. Beyond professional dancer, there are opportunities in teaching, arts administration, ministry, non-profit work, leadership, and creative industries that keep you connected to the art form.
Presented Credo (2024) at American College Dance Festival
Watching students growing in confidence as an artist, mover, and creator. I enjoy being part of a supportive department that is consistently reflecting and improving.
