My Story

Movement has been a lifelong journey and passion for me. Growing up right here in Billings, Montana, I began dancing at age four and went on to earn my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance with an emphasis in Choreography, Performance, and Teaching from the University of Montana. After directing my own dance school for 12 years and teaching and choreographing throughout the region, I expanded my focus on conditioning and body mechanics into the world of Pilates.

Since 2019, I have specialized in teaching Pilates—a path that began in Oklahoma and eventually led me back home to Montana. Certified in Classical and Contemporary Pilates, Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT), and the UltraBarre method, I love helping clients build strength, improve alignment, and move with confidence.

When I am not in the studio, I enjoy life at home in Billings. I share my space with my fella, Paul, and two small dogs, Willie and Milo. Outside, you can often find me tending to my flower garden, enjoying the quiet rhythm of home, and living out the same mindful, balanced movement principles I bring to every session at ALIGN.
