met gala challenge

Dress up was my favorite way to play as a kid (my mom used to let us traipse around the house in her wedding dress. Bless.) So when the Met Gala Challenge happened on Instagram in 2020 in lieu of the red carpet affair, I whipped up this ensemble inspired by Emmy Rossum in an afternoon. My shower curtain and pillow cases never looked so good. Not too shabby for an hour and some duct tape! Rapid prototyping IRL!

and other stories

flamenco siren

Flamenco landed in my lap on my 18th birthday, a gift from the universe, and has become a place I can channel and feel most alive. Over the years I've traveled the world to attend flamenco festivals and study with living legends. In 2018, I was invited to perform with Al Mozaico Flamenco in Vancouver, Canada, working with Kasandra "La China" for 9 months to build a dance from the bottom up that laddered up to my strengths as a dancer. This Cuadro! performance earned me my flamenco namesake, "La Gata", or The Cat. In 2019 I moved to Albuquerque, NM to study flamenco intensively at their world-renown dance academy, the National Institute of Flamenco.

film score

In 2020 I was recruited by a local production company to write the music score for a short silent film called An Artist’s Story. The Director wanted a piano score that mimicked a song he was inspired by, so with that mood in mind, I created a central theme for the main character with short themes for each new character introduced. We began work in the summer, refining the audio through the fall, and recorded in December.
