it’s been way too long since i posted on here… little life update: i’m about to start my rookie season on @bcsurfsquad , the brooklyn cyclones’ entertainment team! baseball has been a part of my life for as long as i can remember, and i couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to be a member of this team and work in the MiLB. this is a clip from when i started choreographing my audition solo back in january, i can’t believe it’s already opening day! so excited to spend the next few months cheering on the cyclones 💙⚾️✨

in honor of summer dance starting tomorrow, here’s some moments from season 39 🩷 my second year with @bodylangds was full of so many incredible firsts: choreographing my first production, going to my first nationals with our team, and our first season/recital in westbury! i am so grateful for the opportunity to work with all of these dancers, and i couldn’t be prouder of all of the growth they’ve shown this year ✨

last weekend i graduated summa cum laude with my bfa in dance, a minor in entrepreneurship with a concentration in marketing! during my time at hofstra, i was so lucky to serve as chapter president for the national honor society for dance arts, the vice president and public relations chair of our dance department, and the public relations and apparel chair for our dance education club. i had so many incredible opportunities during my four years, including showing my choreography at various seminars across new york city and choreographing & producing my own show. i do it all for the girl whose biggest dream was to go to college for dance and pursue it professionally. she never thought she’d be here, she was full of so much doubt and lacked the support she needed. four years later, i’m so proud to say we did it 🩵 forever thankful for the support of @hofstramovom , the family i’ve found here, and all of the experiences i’ve had; i can’t wait to see what’s in store up next: moving to and working in nyc and preparing for @ycfdance this summer!

some moments from my final student rep piece, “his other loves” 💌 wanted to go out with a bang and do something a little jazzy, and i couldn’t be happier with what this piece has become! the biggest thank you to my beautiful cast for making this vision come to life and @cc.rawford & @hofstramovom for giving us the opportunity to showcase our work come see the class of 2024’s last student rep this weekend! in the blackbox theater in joseph shapiro hall, saturday at 3pm and monday at 7pm choreo: @prockerdance dancers: @kellyguberman @katieeandrewss_ @erinmariegreen @ruthiekerber music: “everybody loves somebody” and “your other love” by dean martin lighting: brian canese

“eldest daughters” — student rep fall 2023 the eldest daughter in a family often faces a unique set of experiences: she has distinct challenges, responsibilities, and a lot of expectations put on her. as the firstborn child, she’s expected to be a role model and to set an example for her siblings. this pressure often causes them to develop certain personality traits or even mental health issues. i’ve seen a lot of eldest daughters share their stories online, and they’ve mentioned traits that i’ve found in myself as well. this work is an extreme over-dramatization of all that it means to be an eldest daughter, and shows how even those who seem to be perfect can crack under pressure. forever grateful to my beautiful cast for taking this one on. they really stepped out of their comfort zones and truly gave it their all, and i can’t thank them enough for trusting me! a huge thank you to @hofstramovom and @cc.rawford for the opportunity to get my work out there! this piece means so much to me and i couldn’t have done it without your guidance and support! i’m so excited to have the opportunity to represent movom at a choreography seminar this winter with this piece (stay tuned) ;) choreo: @prockerdance dancers: @bella.aldaz @bella.perl @alisonclairee @cailatsamutalis @madi.crozier music: “find” by nik proteus, mix by me

12/9/2023 — my senior practicum showcase! my heart is so full, i’m beyond grateful for everyone that was a part of this. being able to see all of my pieces from sophomore year to now in one show was so surreal, and i’m beyond thankful i had the chance to revisit them. endless love for @hofstramovom , these past four years will always hold a special place in my heart. thank you x1000 ✨🩷
