About Me
Former Performing Artist
For more than a decade, spanning from 2003 to 2015, I wholeheartedly devoted myself to the art of dance. During this transformative period, I had the incredible privilege of pursuing a professional career with the renowned Texas Ballet Theater in the captivating city of Fort Worth, Texas. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary, as I immersed myself in the world of ballet, pushing my limits, refining my technique, and captivating audiences with the beauty and expressiveness of this timeless art form. The memories and growth I experienced during my tenure with Texas Ballet Theater will forever hold a special place in my heart, serving as a testament to my unwavering dedication to dance and the profound impact it has had on my life.
Career Transition
After an illustrious career as a ballet dancer, I have embarked on my second journey, this time as an entrepreneur and freelancer focusing on dance-related and creative endeavors. I find immense joy and fulfillment in exploring various domains, including web design, computer upgrades, graphic design, and photography. These newfound passions allow me to channel my creativity, embrace innovation, and continuously evolve in the ever-changing landscape of the digital world. Through my multifaceted skills, I strive to bring artistic visions to life, create visually captivating experiences, and deliver exceptional results to clients seeking dance-related and creative services.
