​
I have been actively working as an entrepreneur since Summer of 2019 when I started my first business NAM (an acronym for Nutrition Assistance and Movement Motivation). Amidst the pandemic I expanded my business to virtually reach women all over the world to assist them with nutrition assistance and movement motivation. Alongside this focus, the other side of my business was offering private movement lessons and providing performance in producing my own events, experiences, performance and several dance concept videos. I currently still work for myself as a dance instructor, choreographer, performer alongside my full-time position with Quixotic Fusion as we create and produce several shows and experiences around the world each year.
Vision
my hopes and dreams revolve around helping and inspiring others, being consistently creative and expanding my abilities and comfort zone in all realms of professionalism, performance and production. I hope to push myself both mentally and physically the rest of my life. my goals are ambitious and I will never apologize for that mentality and focus.
I always aim to protect community and self love.
