Artist Statement

Dance brings me joy, gives me hope, and has served as a form of worship and self expression in my life. Through this art form I have discovered more about my inner being in who I truly am. What draws me to dance is the storytelling behind each move and the ability to express the fullness of breath, life, and movement through sound. Dance has shown me how to connect, problem solve, and communicate with others beyond words. My artistic influences come from nature, relationships, faith, community, and personal experiences. I approach my dancing and movement with the intentions of awakening the viewer and allowing them to catch a glimpse of my soul, emotions, and stories I try to convey through movement. In the dance field I hope to contribute through my creativity, ideas, leadership, kindness, and artistry. As I continue to explore and grow I look forward to discovering my unique choreographic voice, strengthening my creative process, and learning how to collaborate deeply with other dancers in my field. Ultimately I want my movement to have an impact with creating meaningful connections, inspiring others, and communicating what words can sometimes not.
