Taught ABT combination classes to dancers aged 2-4 then began teaching little movers Mommy and Me classes. I went on to provide dance instruction in a variety of styles (ballet, tap, jazz, modern, acrobatics, lyrical, contemporary, musical theater, hip hop, and pointe).

Created and taught choreography for all classes that I taught for the annual recital and numerous competitions. I continue to develop choreography, teach, and produce trios, duets, solos, and large production numbers for competitions and the annual recital.

• As a USC Bachelor of Fine Arts student, I was selected to participate in Kaufman Connections and provide hip-hop dance instruction to students at Thirty-Second Street Span School. Hip Hop dance technique was the focus style, but it was taught through a social science lens emphasizing the vernacular, social, and communal aspects that are the essence of hip-hop. I became a keynote speaker for the organization and provided presentations highlighting the amazing life skills that come from engaging in dance.
