| Occupation | Dance Improvisation Artist |
| Location | Missoula, MT, United States |
| Introduction | I create improvisation dance performances. I revel in the somatic experience of the body and the alternate reality available through dance. My work embraces individuality and invites curiosity. It asks and looks microscopically at humanity, emotion and relationships.
