Summary

I am an experienced dance instructor who has specialized focus in early childhood dance education, and jazz and tap for elementary and middle school aged dancers.


I was a lead dancer on the X-plorette La Salle Dance Team during my time at the university.

I have additionally professional credits as a previous member of the Philadelphia Rugby Dance Team, member of the late Caitlin Catanella’s Force Modern Dance Company, Lead Choreographer for production of Annie for local children’s theater Company production. I have been featured as talent the production of Cherry Hill Dancing with Stars production.


I had stepped back for several years when building my family. As a mom of 3 my family life is now complete and I have had the ability in the last two years to instruct again and choreograph. It has been a very rewarding experience coming back with more life experience. I truly enjoy helping to build up confidence in young dancers as they ignite their passion for dance. As a professional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I also enjoy leading nutrition workshops for older students and/or parents.
