My desire is to make a difference in people’s lives through dance. My greatest joy in dance is teaching. My intention is to teach my students life lessons through dance. When I was a young dance student, my dance teachers were some of the most important people in my life; they helped shape me into who I am today. I strive to be that role model and supportive figure in my students’ lives now. My greatest interest in dance is choreography. I enjoy the creative process from the beginning of an idea all the way to performance. I hope to make a difference in people’s lives through dance whether that is with my teaching, choreography, or performance.
