LATEST PROJECTS

Bezalel Creative Dance Program 
Dance curriculum for detained male and female youth, centered on discovering identity through motion.

Inspiration

My inspiration comes from my desire to use dance ministry outside of the church walls.  Since attending Messiah College, I have learned and experienced God’s power through the arts.  I have seen first-hand how God uses dance to serve people and I have the hunger to serve those who have yet to experience His love and grace.
