Performer, Teacher, Actor, Dancer, Singer

CA, USA

I am a dancer, singer and actor currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My favorite performing jobs include Kids of the Kingdom at Walt Disney World, and, more recently, playing the role of Mrs. Wilkinson in Billy Elliot the Musical. I have been dancing since the age of 3, with ballet as my foundation, later adding tap and jazz. In addition to performing, I teach dance, qigong, and musical theater. My three children are also artists — my son is a bassoonist, studying at Frost School of Music in Miami, my daughter is a singer/songwriter and a sound engineer, and my youngest daughter is a dancer at The Ailey School in NYC. My current Broadway obsession is Moulin Rouge: The Musical and the performer I look up to the most is Tony-nominee and all-around badass, Robyn Hurder.
