Biography

As a proud ’07 alumnus of Menlo School, I am excited to be the Upper School Dance Educator and Senior Class Dean.

After graduating from NYU with a BFA in dance in 2010, I pursued a professional dance career in modern, contemporary, and musical theater. My prior experience includes performing at venues throughout New York City, New England, and San Francisco, including Brooklyn Academy of Music, Jacob’s Pillow, and Z Space.

At Menlo, alongside Bibi Khalili ’01, we’ve created Menlo Dance Enrichment (MDE) - an after-school dance program that focuses on cultivating artists while fostering community and belonging through movement.

Currently, I am also on staff at Melodic Remedy Dance Studio, where I teach contemporary, improvisation, and choreograph for the competition team.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and our toddler son Rae, cooking (especially authentic Vietnamese food), and spending time with our Shiba Inu, Mika.
