Summary

Dedicated and passionate educator with extensive knowledge in teaching and updating instructional methods. Committed to mentoring students to boost engagement and overall success. Outgoing, friendly, and highly attentive to detail.

I am dedicated to see beyond ballet technique.

I see potential in every ballet student. Musicality and artistry are as important as ballet technique. Performance quality must be expected.
