“I am a wife and mom of two kids. I am a youth director at a local church here in Mexico, Mo where I get to work with many youth, children and families throughout the community. I have loved dance since the age of 4 when I started taking tap and ballet in Iowa. I participated in various competitions in different types of dance including tap, jazz, and lyrical with ballet always being my favorite. I continued dancing though college where I dance on the Culver-Stockton College dance team. Over the years I have taught many different age groups ballet and lyrical enjoying every minute of it.

I am excited to be working with Presser Arts Center in their Dance program teaching students ballet technique and giving them a chance to be creative with dance.”
