Work History

Choreographer

Competeting Solos
01.2021 - Current

I have choreographed many solos for myself and other students to compete for competitions in High School dance and studio dance. Working with students around my age group, I have the ability to adapt to the style and level of these students, giving them a welcoming but challenging experience where students can grow.

Joffery Ballet School

Training
01.2018 - 12.2023

For the past 5 summers, I have traveled to New York City 4 times and Texas once to train with the Joffrey Ballet School. Working with well-known and highlighted dancers in this industry has taught me a lot about what it is like working in the professional dance industry and how being diverse in styles is important. During my time at the ballet school, I trained in all styles like hip hop, jazz funk, contemporary, and ballet.

West Valley Dance

West Valley Dance
01.2020 - 12.2022

Competitively trained in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, and lyrical while also dancing with people older and younger than me.

High School Dance Team

Convertibles
01.2018 - 12.2022

I was a part of my high school dance team for all four years I was in high school. Performing at football games, pep rallies, annual shows, and competing every season. I learned the importance of being a part of a team/family and working as one to become a strong group.

Vision Dance Center

Vision Dance Center
01.2016 - 12.2018

Trained in contemporary, jazz, ballet, hip hop, and tap competitively for a time at this studio. Unfortunately, the studio closed down when Covid-19 hit, causing me to move to a different studio.

Dance Affair

Dance Affair
01.2008 - 12.2016

Learned and trained at this non-competitive studio for the majority of my childhood. Took ballet, tap, and jazz classes while having a recital once a year.


While still being connected to the owners of this studio, currently I go back to substitute all ages when teachers are out for a night.
