Creativity flourishes on sets and in rehearsal rooms where there is space for vulnerable, daring discovery AND consent. As a dancer and doula, I approach intimacy work with roots in somatic community care work. I believe that the tools offered by intimacy praxis allows artists to create their most bold work.

My work as an intimacy coordinator has been featured in projects screened at LA Shorts Intl Film Festival, Rhode Island International Film Festival, Dances with Films, LA Latino Intl Film Festival, New Orleans Film Festival, New York Latino Film Festival, Nvision Latino Film Festival, and AFI’s DWWW+ program. 

I was a 2024 WIF Fellow and the inaugural intimacy coordinator in the program.
