In 2006, I received my MFA from Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art where I was awarded MICA and Jack Kent Cooke Scholarships and a Jacob K. Javits Fellowship. Since graduating I have been an active participant in Baltimore’s local art scene. I am an adjunct III faculty member at Towson University and the Maryland Institute College of Art, as well as an independent curator. I was the director of exhibitions and curator at Goucher College for over ten years, where I programmed and mounted over 100 exhibitions.

Children of Babel (Trailer)
Children of Babel is the third installment in ‘4 Recurring Dreams’, a tetralogy of evening length dances that explore the nature of recurring dreams and opens up new dialogues on timely themes such as migration, exodus, and transformation.
Inspired by the invisible radio wars between the United States and Cuba since 1959 and mythopoetic research into personal dreams and stories of one family’s migration from Cuba during the Mariel Boatlift of 1980, Children of Babel takes its audience and performers into a vivid sand filled landscape where the voices of a country pulled apart echo 90 miles in all directions.
Orange Grove Dance's world premiere of Children of Babel is supported by The Carla Fund for Choreography and Performance, established by the Howard and Geraldine Polinger Family Foundation, and Joe’s Movement Emporium’s Creative Residency.
