Psychologist by Day
Bellydancer by Night...

Day:
I am a graduate student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Illinois.
My interests center on the legacy of childhood experience in Adult and Adolescent Romantic Relationships.
However, I have also done work on Emotion Regulation (through physiological signatures) & Adult Attachment with Glenn Roisman, and Breast Cancer screening behavior in Latina women with Lydia Buki.

Night:
I began dancing at three years old, but started bellydancing (dancing seriously, anyway) in 1998. Since then I have performed in many different venues from restaurants to theater stages in four states. I currently run the Pangaea Dance Studio and direct Reflections Dance Co. in Champaign, IL. I concentrate on the Modern Egyptian style, but I enjoy experimenting with Folkloric, American Tribal, and honestly any other style my students beg to work on in our troupe (I am after all a big softy).
