My Story on Becoming Silicon Dancer

Engineer, Dancer, Dreamer, Innovator.

At age 3, I was put in in ballet classes and I fell in love. From that point, ballet became that one stable constant in my life. I have trained at some of the top schools in the country including Boston Ballet, Houston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Pacific Northwest Ballet. I have also danced professionally with the professional division of Pacific Northwest Ballet and as a company dancer at ARC Dance in Ballard Washington

Needing a fresh challenge after two years at Pacific Northwest Ballet, I enrolled in school at University of Washington, during which, the first year I still was employed at ARC dance in Ballard as a dancer. I eventually retired from professional ballet full time and worked on earning two bachelor degrees: one in Electrical Engineering and one in Computer Science. I went on to work at Tesla, Ekso Bionics, Nio, and other FAANG companies with a goal to build technology to improve the worlds through electric vehicles, exoskeletons for paraplegics, autonomous driving, and developing internet of things solutions for a diverse group of enterprise customers.

My goal is to build a community centered around dance and technology. As an engineer and dancer, I believe I can bridge these two worlds that people often find so different from one another. Please join me as I revive my dance journey with my ultimate goal being, a new and exciting form of entertainment for you all whether you’re a ballerina or a tech nerd!
