I am currently based in New York City, pursuing a career as a professional dancer. I work as a dancer, private chef, dance history curriculum developer, and Chair of the Wild Center Youth Climate Advisory Board. Previously, I served as the Youth Climate Coordinator at The Wild Center, where I organized climate programming for high schoolers in the Adirondacks and supported youth climate summits globally. Additionally, during this time, I served on the Voice of Rivers Youth Committee, contributing to the planning and execution of the North Country Rights of Nature Symposium. I graduated from Skidmore College in 2021 with majors in Political Science and Dance Performance and Choreography. I grew up in Saranac Lake in the Adirondack Mountains, which is situated in Haudenosaunee territory. Living by the Lake Clear outlet, some of my earliest memories involve playing there with my dad, connecting me deeply to the natural world. I am driven by a desire to protect, celebrate, and honor rivers for their ability to connect communities and sustain both human and non-human life.
