About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and experience

ABOUT ME

I completed my studies at Concordia University in contemporary dance and psychology. I love dancing from ballroom/latin and salsa to contact improv to modern to broadway and the list goes on. Dance and theatre has always been a part of my life and I truly believe it is a therapeutic form in its own. After my bachelors I worked in research in dance therapy with older adults and now I am pursuing a Masters in Rehabilitation Sciences at Université de Montréal.

My urge for adventures is underway and I love to travel backpacker style. I believe in immersing myself in the culture of the area in order to get the true experience and I'm always curious to see how the rest of the world lives. I love meeting different and interesting people and can't wait to see what the rest of the world has in store for me:)

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe if we all talked a little less and listened a little more, things would get done.
