Summary

I grew up as a competitive dancer and always have had a passion for teaching. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance at University of Missouri- Kansas City with an emphasis in choreography and performance. Experienced with dance instruction and student engagement , fostering an environment for students to grow and be free to express themselves. Its extremely important to me to create a positive and supportive environment for students because that's something I didn't have for the majority of my time as a competitive dancer. I motivate dancers and push them to be the best they can be.
