She began processing the effects of extreme abuse while a dance major in college and continued her educational pursuits while in recovery. Upon graduation she founded a dance company which has grown into an international arts collective. Additionally, she co-founded its affiliated 501 (c) 3. She has realized many projects with a high degree of success as a dancer, choreographer, visual artist, and producer. She has had solo exhibitions in Vienna, New York, and Santa Barbara. Her choreography has been performed extensively on the West Coast, abroad in Europe, and on the East Coast. Press quotes range from “astonishingly gifted” with the local press to “perfect dance poetics” with international press. She has been active in the field of the arts as a groundbreaker and visionary actively working to shift the paradigm in how the arts organize harnessing principles of conscious leadership in interest of “being the change” she longs for in the world. In addition to her work in the field of the arts, she has chosen for her primary income to come from other sources in order to have the greatest degree of creative freedom as an artist. One of her “bread and butter gigs” was in the field of alternative dispute resolution. She received a certification in mediation and went on to become a published Ombuds author in this field. She has two articles coming out in the next edition of Survivorship, one that reflects on the process, two decades later; and a second which suggests development of an expanded pain scale pertinent to survivors of extreme trauma. She is currently working on a book project that collates what she has learned from 20 years as a dance maker with hopes that it will become a resource guide for emerging dance makers. She has a dream of establishing “wholeness centers” that serve both as artistic residencies, and retreat centers for trauma survivors. Her current interest lies in completing her book projects and then beginning to channel her energy into pursuing the dream of establishing “wholeness centers.”ver menos
