I am a graduate from NCSU with a BS in Business Management and graduate from Meredith College with a teaching license in K-12 Dance Education. I have performed, designed, and coached colorguard, winterguard , and dance teams for over 30 years, and starting my 22nd year as the dance director at Wakefield HS. I was a dance/guard performer for many years with groups such as Blessed Sacrament World Winterguard, The Study World Winterguard, Carolina Visual Productions and Carolina Gold Drum and Bugle Corps. I was a professional cheerleader for the short lived Raleigh Dragons football team and danced during High School and College.
I met my husband while performing in Boston and am lucky he was willing to make a move to the South. We have two beautiful children, Cameron & Claire, and my favorite thing is to spend time with them and travel. I love teaching and consider all of my students as family. I am proud that many of my students are currently performing, teaching, and majoring in dance. The performance thrill keeps me going and I hope that my students learn as much from me as I continue to learn from them.
