Bio+CV

I’m a performer, choreographer, theater-maker, musician, and writer from Hoboken, New Jersey.

My first love was tap dance, which lives in the knee-heart of my work and practice. I came up in the tap dance community in New York, and I’ve been very fortunate to spend time and study with some of the masters of this Black American art form and tradition, including Dr. Bunny Briggs, Dr. Jimmy Slyde, and Dianne Walker.

I studied English and Creative Writing at Yale University. My writing practice was first focused in poetry, and continues in essays, hybrid performance texts, and plays.

I lived in Rhode Island for 7 years, where I had the opportunity to develop a theater practice within a community of Latinx artists, collaborating with organizations including Rhode Island Latino Arts, Trinity Repertory Company, and AS220. I also started to dance with Boston-based tap dance company Subject:Matter.

My partner Octavia and I recently relocated back to NYC, where we live in Washington Heights. I’m a member of the tap dance and live music company Music from the Sole, and I continue to develop my practices as a dance-maker, teacher, and writer.

Ian Berg once told me that I dance like a snake who’s charming itself.
