Bio: At 3 years old my father wanted me to play hockey but after he took me to watch a performance of the Nutcracker Ballet I fell in love with the art of dance. Unfortunately for my poor father that love for dance quickly turned into my entire world and my dad got to spend many hours at the local dance studio far away from the ice rink. 

Growing up I studied the Cecchetti and Vagonnva methods of ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Lyrical, Heels, Musical Theater, and my favorite jazz. For me dance is a celebration of life, a connection to my innermost feelings, and a way to communicate without constraints. It brings together physical strength, emotional depth, and artistic finesse in a harmonious blend that constantly challenges and completes me 

At 16 years old I was blessed with the opportunity to assistant teach at my studio, this is when I realized my passion for teaching. I have never forgotten the moment one of my students figured out how to do a pas-de-bouree and we both jumped with excitment. Helping others discover their love for dance is the greatest gift and something I plan to continue throughout my life
