Movement is how I teach,
and how I learn.

This site consolidates my work across classrooms, leadership, research, and classical dance — three practices that, for me, are really one body of work.

Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in my work. This site documents my evolving journey in education, where I take on various roles, alongside my experiences as an entrepreneur. It explores the dynamic nature of an educator's journey — and how that journey is shaped by classical dance, research, and leadership practice as much as it is by the classroom.
