I began dancing in my mom's studio at age 7. I attended Jordan Academy of Dance in Indianapolis through high school. I earned a B.A. in Dance Pedagogy from Butler University '93. I have taught ballet, modern, tap, jazz, and hip hop for all ages in various studio and public school settings for 30 years. I have set choreography for numerous junior and high school musicals, and choreographed floor routines for Xcel level gymnasts. I performed as an Indiana Pacers Pacemate for the '96-'98 seasons.
