Shake It Out
This piece was a passion project of mine that I ended up working on over the course of ten months. There were a lot of unforeseen changes to this piece caused by the pandemic (including the need to transform it to a virtual format) but I am extremely proud of how it turned out and feel like it is a true representation of me and my art.

This piece fulfilled a longtime dream to work with artistic collaborator and dear friend, Tyler Okunski. We wanted to build a piece about joy and community and put a spin on one of our favorite musicals- Once. Together with an unmatched group of talented musicians and performers, we were truly able to create something beautiful that holds a very special place in my heart.

As soon as I first heard this song, I knew it would be something I needed to put on stage. This piece tells the story of love and turmoil, highlighting the intensity that can present itself within queer relationships. Accompanied by the incredible Micah Day and Brendan Coulter, this piece is one of my favorite things I have had the chance to create and I am so thankful to share it with all of you!

Ever After
In the fall of 2021, head of the performing arts department at Elon and director for the show, Fred Rubeck, approached me and asked if I would be willing to choreograph for our upcoming main stage production of Into the Woods. Of course, I was honored and accepted with enthusiasm. Thus started one of the biggest projects I have ever been a part of! I got the amazing chance to work alongside Fred and music director Chris Rayis and build the world for our production from the ground up. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity I was given and I hope y’all enjoy this clip of the Act I finale!

Angelina
This piece was a passion project for our directorial team that was brought to me as an ask to collaborate and bring their vision to life! I really enjoyed working on this work with an entirely female and queer creative team telling a story by us and for us.
