Let me tell you a little about myself. I started dancing when I was 4 years old and haven’t stopped. I am a 1998 graduate of Princeton High School and a 2002 graduate from UNC-Wilmington with a BS in Business Management and a minor in music. While in college I attended Mt. Olive College in Mt. Olive and was a member of the Mt. Olive College singers, a singing and dancing traveling group.  I have performed in Washington, D.C. and the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York.  I am certified through Dance Masters of America, a dance educator organization, since 2002. I have taught dance classes for 14 years which have included studios in Goldsboro, Wilmington and Beulaville.

In 2007, I was voted in as a director on the board of Carolina Dance Masters (CDM).  I have been a member of CDM since 2002.  I was the first high school senior to receive a college scholarship from CDM.  I was a student of two CDM members.  And I am a certified Examier for CDM.  CDM  is very important to me and I hope to educate all of my students about CDM and what they can get out of the organization.

As a student I competed regionally and nationally winning many awards. I believe that hard work and fun can be done at the same time. Dance is my passion and I am glad to be able to share it with other people. This will be a wonderful year filled with fun and excitment.
