Hi!
I am a performer and Violence and Intimacy Choreographer. I hold a BA in Musical Theater with a minor in Stage Combat from Columbia College Chicago. I choreographed and assisted over 12 films and theatrical productions for CCC along with other projects throughout the city. I am originally from the Bay Area where I apprenticed Dave Maier, Dueling Arts Full Instructor of Theatrical Combat, at the SF Opera, Magic Theater, Cal Shakes, Shotgun, and Marin Theater Company. Additionally in the Bay Area, I have co-taught the "Fight Like A Girl" class at Shakesperience. I am so grateful for the wonderfully supportive fight and intimacy communities and the many friends and mentors I have made along the way.
