About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world and myself. Develop my talents. Be human.

ABOUT ME

I am a young adult eager to explore and experience what the world has to offer. I am intellectual and introspective, yet silly and embodied.

My current passion is dance. I am a Contact Improv addict, Student of the Axis Syllabus and Contemporary Technique. I am most interested in altered theatrical states and the power of authentic performance.

I am an outdoor junkie. I love to be active and immersed in the elements. Backpacking, mountain biking, sailing, a little surfing, a little climbing, kayaking, trail running.

I love words and have a deep appreciation for potent storytelling, regardless of the medium.
literature, poetry, spoken word, acting, dance.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about getting outside your comfort zone and diving into the unknown.

Its also about laughter and eating fresh fish cooked over the fire on the beach under a full moon.
