I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a Chicago burlesque dancer and cabaret performer, but I also wear many other hats. I sing, act, dance, choreograph, model, write (music, poetry, ethnography), play several instruments, design and create whatever and whenever I can. I'm always up for collaboration on new and interesting projects so message or email me and let's see if we can shake things up!

Booking inquiries can be directed to [email protected] .

My performance resumé is available upon request.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other creative minds, anyone who has faith in the arts, optimists, actors, pessimists, singers, realists, dancers, cops and robbers, writers, gay cowboys, technicians, whoever wrote the "Family Matters" theme song, Gossamer from Looney Tunes, smiling faces, choreographers, people whose names begin with "X", models, the lovers, the dreamers and YOU!
