Educational researcher, dance educator, arts advocate, and aerialist based in Los Angeles.
PhD candidate at UCLA
As a doctoral candidate in the Urban Schooling division of UCLA’s School of Education & Information Studies, I seek to support the development of expressive, embodied pedagogies that prioritize movement and the intentional application of dance for K-12 learners and teachers in higher education. I study teacher education, dance, and improvisation to support the design of embodied learning environments. I look critically at the role of the body in both formal and informal educational spaces.
