ARTISTIC STATEMENT
As an artist, I approach dance with a curious eye, understanding that there will be constant challenges and knowledge to gain in the roads ahead of me. With each and every movement exercise, performance, and personal practice, I seek to delve deep into the essence of what movement is, and engage with it on both a physical and mental level. I see dance as not only a movement experience, but something that expresses and underlying message that is versatile to each eye. I am a mover, intellect, and figure in the world of dance that embodies the safety, expressivity, and power of the the nonverbal language of dance
