About Me

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.
