Since I was 2 years old, I have been taking dance classes and performing on stage. I was in dance recitals and had lead roles in musicals in high school. But, it wasn’t until my travels with Up with People where my performance took a new level. *info on what Up with People is, is found on my about page

In 2017 I joined the cast of Up with People and became the first lead dancer they have ever had perform with the professionals that early on.

With the organization, I traveled around the world performing in a new city, state, or country every week as a lead dancer, and then lead singer for one year. During my time on the road I got to perform in front of thousands of people in various cities around the U.S, Mexico, and Europe. I was selected along with 8 others for a special performance in New York City, I toured in Mexico and the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, performed on live TV in Houston, Texas, Mexico City, and Denver, Colorado, and finished with performing in the Vatican for Pope Francis and on the Spanish Steps for 10,000+ people in Rome, Italy.

After my travels while in college, I became a part time dance instructor and performer for the organization, and continue to be a lead performer for special events.

In 2020, when Covid hit, I really got into Salsa and Bachata dancing and joined a performance team in Denver, CO called Colorado New Style. I traveled and performed both Salsa and Bachata routines in Denver, at the Denver Salsa Bachata Congress, the San Francisco Salsa Bachata Congress (2 years in a row), and the Salt Lake City Salsa Bachata Congress.

NOW…..I live in Florida and am cross training with world renowned Jessica Quiles in Salsa, as well as training in Hip Hop, Jazz, Heels, and Latin Fusion at VYB studio in Tampa as well as one on one sessions with Julia Shea and Zariel Bernard from L.A.

My Goal:

is to take dance as far as I can, and see how good I can get. I would love to travel and perform with a company again. I would love to be a backup dancer for an artist, or be in movies for dance, and more! So if you like what you see…..please contact me!
