School, she has danced with contemporary companies that include The Metropolitan Opera,
Dallas Black Dance Theater (DBDT), Earl Mosely’s Diversity of Dance, Nathan Trice Rituals, and
others, performing the works of many inspiring choreographers such as David Parsons, Elisa

worked with include Ron Brown, Sean Curran, Louis Johnson, and Alonzo King. Her own
choreography includes works for Benjamin Briones Ballet, DBDT, NYMF’s Trav’lin (associate),
Boston’s Jazz Dance Recovery Project, festivals, solos, competitions, productions of West Side
