With 20+ years of professional dance training, ongoing professional development in facilitation, and creative collaborations with artists and performers, I use movement and creative expression to tell stories, encourage compassion, and bring people together.
ARTS IN HEALTHCARE
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 throughout MedStar Georgetown University Hospital's main campus in Washington, D.C.

I am on the facilitation team of a pilot dance class and research study on the impacts of dance for people living with multiple sclerosis. This research and class pilot is co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Hospital Department of Neurology and Arts & Humanities program. The next pilot session of Movement for MS dance class is in fall 2018 in Takoma Park, MD, and is free of cost.

WORKSHOPS & COLLABORATIONS
My creative movement workshops and private lessons help people of all ages and experience with dance engage the body and brain, explore their creativity, and discover the stories and abilities we have in our bodies.

You can find me in the community and on stage with individual artists, professional performing companies, and gathering spaces. With these collaborators I use the performing arts in community building, educate in and advocate for the arts, and instigate small and big acts of social change and conversation.
