Ballet has shaped every chapter of my life. From a young girl dreaming in a small studio to training at some of the top ballet schools in the United States, dance has been my foundation, my passion, and my purpose.

I trained in both the Vaganova and Balanchine techniques, studying under renowned teachers at leading institutions across the country. My performance career took me from the stage to the screen, including time working on Hollywood film sets—an experience that gave me a deeper understanding of how to communicate ballet in a clear, meaningful way. I later became certified in Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) and began focusing on personalized instruction, helping dancers build strength, prevent injury, and unlock their full artistic potential.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of coaching students into prestigious ballet schools and competitions around the world. Teaching privately, guest teaching across the country, and guiding dancers through competition seasons have all become some of the most fulfilling parts of my work.

But beyond ballet, my greatest pride is my family. I’m incredibly lucky to share life with my husband, Mike, and our three amazing children. They keep me grounded, inspired, and constantly reminded of what matters most.

AK Ballet is more than a training space—it’s a reflection of my love for this art form and my belief in the power of individualized mentorship. I created this space so that every dancer—whether aspiring professional or lifelong learner—feels seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

Let’s dance forward, together.
