CO-OWNER

I started as a dancer in this community, and am so proud to now lead it alongside my soul sister, Vanessa. I’ve always been an advocate for unabashed sexual expression, diverse media representation, and the belief that anyone can be a dancer. I studied Communications, Media, Gender, and Sexuality because I’m passionate about how sex, the stage, and society intersect. My career started in non-profit arts before catapulting into the hyper-capitalist male-dominated tech industry; and I’ve since swung the pendulum back by “Robin Hooding” (reworking) Fortune 500 formulas designed to make the rich richer, to instead build local, heart-centered, decolonized communities. Luminesque once showed me that I deserved to be seen and celebrated when I needed it most, and so now I’ve made it my job to use my privilege, resources, and experience to carve out spaces for underrepresented humans to witness themselves and be witnessed through the universal art of dance/sex/movement. I couldn’t do any of this without my brilliant team and supportive family, so thank you for standing by Vanessa and I while we slowly change the world one stiletto’d step at a time.

STUDIO MANAGER

I’ve always been a big dreamer and joining the Glow Studios team has been a dream of mine since I first heard Vanessa talk about changing the world. I first met Vanessa and Emily 6 years ago through Luminesque Dance. I had just finished 5 years in business school and didn’t know what career was going to full-fill me quite yet. I did know that I wanted help people create beautiful things. I’m so grateful that through my role as Studio Manager, I can accomplish that goal. I now get to put my education and experience to work, building beautiful spaces to create and play in, that allow other passionate dreamers to thrive and succeed!
