DANCE BACKGROUND


I trained in various styles of dance since the age of 3 and, in my early years, competed at many dance conventions and competitions.  I have a degree in early childhood and elementary education and have been a Dance Instructor for the past 26 years. During the day you can find me as a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner and Title 1 Reading Specialist at Muse Elementary School in the Canon McMillan School District.



TEACHING PHILOSOPHY


It is my number one goal to create a safe and fun environment that builds trust and confidence within my students that leads to creative exploration and successful learning



A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS


  • My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving but I also love pasta! I also love the color turquoise.

Behind every dancer who believes in themselves is a teacher who believed in them first
