I've performed it, coached it, directed it and judged it. I know exactly how a routine reads from the judges' table.

I've spent about 20 years in competitive cheer. I started as an athlete, became a coach, and today I'm the All Star Director at Top Gun Cheer & Dance in Miami.

I've also sat on the other side of the mat as a competition judge. That's the eye I bring to every routine: what scores, what doesn't, and how to build a performance that feels as good to watch as it does to hit. My background in music production means I choreograph to every accent in the mix.

Miami is home, but my work travels. Programs have brought me across the United States and to Mexico, Colombia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. I work with every level and every age, in English or Spanish.
