I believe high school dance teams offer more than just half time entertainment for sports fans. Dance teams provide a strong leadership environment for young dancers to grow, sharpen their skills, and create lasting friendships. 

I coach with a growth mindset and constantly challenge my team to dig deep and explore their strengths. I strive to provide guidance to each member of the team so that they can grow into the best version of themselves. My personal strengths include communication, strategy, and restorativeness. I work to cultivate a safe environment for fierce teamwork, effective communication, and high organization. 

I am currently the Communications Manager within the Academic Services and Enrollment Management Marketing team at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. I serve on the Board of Directors as the Executive Vice President of Communications for the American Marketing Association–Lincoln. I am a proud graduate of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Business where I majored in Marketing and Management. 

I graduated from Lincoln Northeast High School and was a 3 year Star Strutter during my Sophomore-Senior years and a 1 year Varsity Cheerleader during my Freshman year. I was a an All-American Cheerleader, two time All-American Dancer, and the Top All-American Dancer and a "Pin it Forward" recipient during my senior year. I was a competitive dancer at Universal Dance Academy where I later taught for 5 years. 

I also have a very sweet pup named Birdie! I talk about her nonstop and will show you a million photos of her, just ask the team!
