Arts and Health Integration at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital
Resident Movement Artist
As a Resident Movement Artist with the Georgetown Lombardi Arts & Humanities Program (AHP) I provide stretch breaks and yoga classes to hospital staff, and coordinate on-site performances and art encounters for patients, staff, and co-facilitate wellness workshops for MedStar staff. AHP exists to promote an optimum life experience for patients, family and medical caregivers with events, resources, education and environments that encourage a creative and constructive response to illness. The program is at the national and international forefront of the rapidly developing research and field of arts and healthcare. The program provides musical performances and visits, crafting and art projects in lobbies and patient rooms, writing workshops and poetry readings, guided meditations, and more.

Director of the Day of Dance in Healthcare at MGUH
As part of an ongoing initiative to bring the healing arts to healthcare settings, the Day of Dance in healthcare is an annual live dance performance that takes place inside and around the campus of MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Professional dancers and a live musician perform a dance that travels through the hallways, lobbies, and units of the hospital. The 2017 Day of Dance was co-directed and co-choreographed by myself and Keira Hart-Mendoza.
The 2018 Day of Dance will take place in October 2018 under my direction. Sign up for my newsletter and follow me on Instagram to see the event in development!
