I started my dance journey at age 3 wearing tutu’s and high buns. I danced for about 13 years before prioritizing other activities like cheerleading and theater (yep, theater kid over here!) When I got to college in 2012 I was certain I would never dance again- unless if it was in my newly beloved rave scene where I would simply bounce up and down for hours on end (which I did not hate). But I always felt like I could be doing more or contributing more to the rave scene and the festival community. I fell in love hard and fast with the culture and knew it was something I’d be a part of for a very long time. 

In 2016, I graduated from Arizona State University. At the time, I started to see shuffling more and more on my Instagram explore page. Fast forward to a year later in August 2017. I was bored, fun-employed, living with my parents and drooling at all things EDM/raves/festivals. Learning how to shuffle crept more and more into my mind and finally I thought, “if not now… when?!” So I started my shuffle journey one night in my bedroom at my parents house and haven’t looked back since.

It genuinely was a hobby to start and felt refreshing to try something new. Stepping outside of my comfort zone felt good and yet scary. But you know what they say, if it doesn’t scare you, it’s not big enough. Shuffling and all that it have given me is, at this point in my life, is my true purpose. and it’s all because I simply started. It's given me community, confidence, and a sense a flow state I'm not sure I could have achieved doing anything else.

While shuffling is one of the biggest parts of my life, there’s something else that goes hand in hand with it that I’ve grown deeply passionate about: social media. I’ve worked in social media and more specifically, influencer marketing, since 2018. Being a part of the evolution has been fascinating and incredibly eye opening. I’ve learned and acquired so much social media, trends, content creating, and influencer marketing from my professional experience that I thought… why not take this with me on my personal journey?

Over the last few years, I’ve fallen into the world of influencer marketing and creating content on a more personal level through building my own brand. I didn't think I would be nearly as passionate about it as I am. The time is now for me to start helping others build their personal brand and guide them through the process of creating content in addition to shuffle coaching. Ultimately, my purpose here is to serve YOU! Whether that be through movement, media, content or simply connecting, I want to grow together and flow together in any process that I can help with.
