I began my formal dance training in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz at the age of 5. While studying Psychology, Communications, and Business at Tufts University, I pursued my love for dance by training and performing in Jazz, Hip Hop and Modern dance; coordinating and leading Salsa lessons for the Tufts community, and managing and choreographing for Tufts University's student Salsa dance performance team. Upon graduation, I trained as a dancer and instructor at MetaMovements Salsa Dance Company directed by Anara Frank. Now a professional, independent Salsa dance instructor and performer, I teach all ages and levels of dancers and perform across the country, striving to share my passion for Salsa with everyone I meet!
