I’m a choreographer, performer, and educator based in Amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton). My existing artistic practice and interests lie in the liminal and expansive space between dance and theatre. I am curious about, and constantly exploring, story telling through movement; whether it is an abstract narrative without text, or a traditional play with a linear structure.

A big part of my practice, in my own work, centers around inclusion. While I don’t identify as a Disabled artist, I create from a lens that centres Deaf and Disabled perspectives and collaborators. I’ve spent years integrating access into my work from the very beginning of the creative process. I believe that art should be barrier-free, and that everyone deserves to experience it fully.
Alongside my artistic work, I value community deeply. I co-founded the Good Women Dance Collective and supported its growth for over a decade as both an artist and administrator, and I continue to volunteer my time with arts organizations and peers.

I also believe deeply in the power of art to move people. For me, dance and theatre can be an instigator for change; gently opening hearts and minds, sparking empathy, and softly nudging us toward new ways of seeing the world. My hope, with any of my work, is that audiences leave feeling moved.
I am an artist of settler descent living and working in Amiskwacîwâskahikan, colonially known as Edmonton in Treaty 6 territory. I specifically reside in the papastew ward, where I am steps away from both the North Saskatchewan river valley, and the Mill Creek ravine. This land is the original home of the Indigenous nations of the Cree, Nakota-Sioux, Blackfoot, Dene-Tsuu T’ina, and Métis among others. It is a privilege to make my home here, and I will continue to learn, listen and defend the rights of the original caretakers of this place.
