From a young age, I've had a deep passion for dance, and I've committed myself to it with great dedication. Through hard work and training under the guidance of some of the most respected masters in dance, I've honed my techniques to professional standards. My journey has taken me from Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet (CPYB), where I had the privilege of being mentored by Marcia Dale Weary and Darla Hoover, to the vibrant city of New York. It was there that I experienced the diverse modern dance culture at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. After getting accepted into the University of Utah Modern Dance Program, I was able to explore various dance forms and further develop my skills.

As I transitioned from performer to instructor, my love for the art form seamlessly evolved into a successful teaching career, where I've had the opportunity to inspire and mentor countless students. From serving as an instructor at prestigious ballet academies such as The Washington Ballet, Viktor Yelionhin International Ballet Academy, and the Metropolitan School of the Arts, to essential leadership roles in arts administration as the Head of the Dance Department at MSA Academy and later as the Academy and Development Manager at MBT. I've always been dedicated to fostering a love for movement and a commitment to excellence in every student I teach.

I'm proud to have established the Leading Edge Academy of Dance (L.E.A.D.), where we invite both children and adults to join a community where the language of dance is spoken fluently, and the spirit of artistic expression is both cherished and cultivated. Our goal is not merely to teach dance, but rather to provide a comprehensive educational experience for each student that encompasses the entirety of their being. We strive to inspire excellence in each dancer and celebrate their unique paths as they evolve.
