I have a BFA in dance from the University of Arizona. Throughout my dance career I have taught in urban public schools as well as international schools. I owned and operated a dance school for 15 years.
I am currently pursuing a career in education. I am working on a Masters in elementary education at St. John’s University in New York, NY. Presently, I work part time at Kidville, a learning and play center for children, in Hoboken, NJ. I teach preschool alternative classes and ballet there. Additionally, I am a freelance Choreographer and Master Dance instructor and often volunteer my time to teach dance to children who might not be able to afford classes.
