About Me

Choreographer. My work:U of A "A Psychologists' Lucid Explanation of Why . . . "Echo Helstrom Music Video "Hungry Ghost"On my videos page there is a short spec I directed, produced, choreographed, etc featuring clothing by Jennifer Coker.Condom spec I produced with Jason. Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com California native moved to Portland and now in Grad school in Tucson Arizona. I love learning daily. I don't so much like being wrong- though I often am. I can be a bitch at times, but all of my relationships have somehow survived despite the fact. I dig coffee shops, late night drinks and game nights with the friends. I prefer one on one time over big shin digs, unless I'm the one throwing 'em. I love my pup- Toby. I love my best friend like no one else. I appreciate live music- especially when I'm dancing to it. I to dance because of the way it makes me feel- I don't so much like the attention of perfoming. I guess I never could have been a rock star- even if my voice didn't totally suck. I spent some time living in Paris and vowed to spend another year of my life there (at some point). I'm an avid traveller. I have a rockin' family- though it can definately be a challenge when we're all together. I used to be a perfectionist, but am now perfectly fine with imperfection. I don't understand people who have never struggled in life, but am happy for them. I enjoy reading, hate being sick and don't mind the rain at all- as long as I get occasional break. I love Portland and I'm missing it. But I'll be back. . . .
