About

I am a multi-disciplined artist, who has taught, choreographed and directed all over Ontario as well as abroad! I grew up in Newmarket, training and competing as a gymnast at the Ontario provincial level before moving to competitive dance training, in ballet, jazz, lyrical, musical theatre, tap, hip-hop, and contemporary. I graduated from the Randolph College for Performing Arts in Toronto, nominated for both the Governor General’s Academic Award and the Triple Threat Award.

Recently, I spent 3 years at Stardust Academy in Amman, Jordan teaching the dance program, and directing and choreographing the full scale musicals and end of year variety shows. Some of my choreography and direction credits include: The Lion King, Swept Away, Aladdin, True Treasure, HONK! with Stardust Academy, Mary Poppins Jr, Shrek Jr, and Willy Wonka Jr with Stabback Music Studio in Ottawa, Gettin’ in the Mood, and Bye Bye Blackbird, with Arts Huron Dance Showcase in Newmarket, and a 50th Anniversary gala performance, with Jaybird Productions in Toronto.

Some of my performance credits include: Pop: an Apocalyptic Parody (Huge Picture Productions), Titanic (Confidential Musical Theatre Project), Playing with Angels (Newmarket National Playfest), Songs for a New World (First Act Productions), The Sound of Music (Lower Ossington Theatre), and Numbers (Kokus Productions). I also starred as the lead character in an episode of Paranormal Survivor, a ghost story reenactment show.
