After graduating from Barnard College with a B.A. in Dance and American Studies in 2011, she explored her passion for education as a teaching fellow at Achievement First Brownsville charter school in Brooklyn. As a dancer, she has worked with renowned artists including Camille A. Brown, Nora Chipaumire, Faye Driscoll, Nicholas Leichter, and Colleen Young.

She continues to seek out other change agents on the west coast and aims to cultivate network ties that internally strengthen and expand the reach of the dance and arts communities.
