I create art to find and share my truth and to feed my soul.

Dance, to me it’s an instinct we carry from the moment we’re born until we return to the earth.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by emotions, myths, books, nature, and the experiences of daily life.
What would you do with $25,000?I have a dream to create a full-length dance work where myth and human emotion intertwine, reflecting why we’re drawn to myths in the first place. With $25,000, I would bring this vision to life, supporting dancers, space, and production. Inspired by artists like Martha Graham and Pina Bausch, I want to leave a mark and create a work that resonates deeply, a piece every artist dreams of making.
