Meet the Teacher
“You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.”
~Martha Graham
I have had a successful experience in leading and mentoring students of various ages and backgrounds by using diverse instructional approaches and resources during my fifteen years at Sherwood Middle Academic Magnet School (SMAMS). As a certified dance teacher, my passion for dance and many years of experience provided me the opportunity to collaborate and engage with other faculty, committees, local and national artists in creative spaces. My hopes are through hard work and dedication we continue the SMAMS tradition of excellence in our dance space.
