ABOUT ME

A manifestation brought into fruition, I was a love child of a Colombian immigrant mother and an African American father who only knew the streets of Brooklyn. I was enrolled in the arts from the young age of three, and I have always known who I was meant to be, A Leo Light beam. I'm a Native New Yorker raised between Brooklyn and Staten Island.
My work carries the juxtaposition of a heavy pulse and subtle stillness of the city and a deep commitment to embodiment, care, and storytelling. Guided by somatic practice and a belief in the body as archive, my choreography explores memory, sensuality, and transformation—often moving between the personal, the political, and the spiritual. As a teaching artist and intimacy coordinator, I create spaces that center presence, consent, and deep listening.
With experience in program coordination, I bring structure to vision and a collaborative spirit to every room. My work is often intentionally improvised and built to breathe, to remember, and to move us toward connection.
