• Supporting & championing my communities

    Using art and humanity as my guiding inspirations, I work in the non-profit sector and share my ideas with others to build a more interconnected world.

  • Creation is my calling

    Since choreographing my first piece for older adults at 14, choreography has been central to my self-expression, my ways of connecting, and my being.

  • Movement is life.

    Improvisation is central to my work as a artist and bringing others’ visions to life brings me joy.

    Movement & Performance

  • Education and Experience

    My academic background has greatly influenced my teaching styles, my interests and curiosities, and my desire for more knowledge.

    Education

I am in service of expression.

I stand upon building a more interconnected world as long as I live on this earth. As a Japanese American woman who lives intergenerationally and embodies intersectionality, it is my duty to bridge understanding between worlds.

As I continue to retrain myself somatically, I dream of globally redefining “humanity”, across all current spiritual, religious, physical, academic, and enforced divides.

As a movement artist, I live between the studio and street worlds in St. Louis. My choreographic and improvised performance work reflect these environments.
