More Than Just My Work

I am a retired professional dancer with a passion for transmitting deep emotion through performance and teaching. Dance connected me to the exploration of understanding the importance of giving my body a voice.

People find it funny, but I love to study! I am always looking for my next certification! I also love to spend time with my family, the smell of coffee first thing in the morning, listening to music at all times, and red roses. You will always find me smiling because it’s one of my favourite things to do.
