I'm an American actor with a story that spans from ballet to Broadway.  After years as a Soloist at Carolina Ballet, I came to NYC and 9-months later, was in rehearsal with Kelsey Grammer building the Tony Award winning revival of La Cage Aux Folles. From there, I joined the cast of Chicago, kicking off the Cellblock Tango as Liz!  After two Nat'l Tours,  I made my principal debut as Cassie in A Chorus Line. Then, Christopher Wheeldon cast me in his world premiere of An American in Paris in PARIS before opening on Broadway.  I performed in the Tony's (again!) and was thrilled to go on a number of times for the brilliant Veanne Cox in her principal role, Madame Baurel.  I've also worked with industry leaders including Josh Bergasse, Susan Stroman and the iconic late Anne Reinking.

​

I have taught for more than 20 years at the university level, for company-affiliated programs, and conventions.  Currently, I'm a guest artist at NYU Tisch/Grad Acting and an adjunct professor at Northeastern University (formerly Marymount Manhattan) in New York City.  Past students include Academy award-winning Ariana DeBose, Sarah Pippin (2-time NYCDA Nat'l Champion), and Ms. Lauryn Hill (the Fugees).  I have judged for many organizations, including NYCDA National Finals, and enjoy teaching as a guest artist around the country!  I love creating for aspiring artists and my pieces have won Best Choreography.
