Hey, I'm

Welcome to my site

Introduction

My life has always been dedicated to dance which led me to a professional career with a ballet company for 12 years (2003-2015). I had the most memorable career dancing with Texas Ballet Theater in Fort Worth Texas.

Transition

I am in the midst of my second career as an entrepreneur and freelancer for dance-related and creative jobs. My current passions include web design, upgrading computers, graphic design and photography.

As a side hustle, I have created two successful businesses. The first was created in 2013 providing garments for male performing artists in dance. The second is a photo booth company based in Madison Wisconsin.
