Fellowship: Community Engagement Fellowship, Fall 2015
School and major: Cornish College of the Arts, BFA in Dance
What are you doing now? “I am working/dancing with hers & hers – Melissa Lewis and Courtney King and Maligrad Contemporary Dance Company – Molly Fletcher Lynch. I co-facilitate at the Dalt hotel with Krista DeNio (partnership with Skywatchers and CounterPulse) and am the lead Teaching Artist at Alonzo King LINES Ballet. I’m developing a week-long dance workshop at my old boarding school, Verde Valley School. I am headed into a Pre-Nursing program at SFSU in hopes of becoming a midwife/women’s health practitioner… Dream is to connect dance and health!”
