About
I was born and raised in Atlanta, and I ventured to Amsterdam in 2017 with a passion for dance. Over the years, I’ve carved out a niche for myself in both the commercial and theater scenes across The Netherlands. My background in dance and visual arts has shaped the way I see the world: through emotion, rhythm, and intention. As a creative director, curator, and performing artist, I work at the intersection of storytelling and strategy.
Whether I’m curating an exhibition or leading a team, my goal is to bring clarity and feeling into the process.
