With 23 years of choreography experience, I bring a deep understanding of what makes student performance programs thrive. My background in show choir and musical theatre allows me to create work that is both visually engaging and intentionally crafted for the performers in front of me.
I specialize in choreography and staging that highlight student strengths, support storytelling, and create a polished, effective performance experience. From competitive show choir to musical theatre, I know how to shape movement that serves the music, the narrative, and the production's overall design.
If you’re looking for an experienced collaborator who understands both the creative and practical sides of building successful student performances, I’d love to partner with you on your next project.
