Education: B.A. from Denison University, Granville, OH in Dance

M.A. from The American University, Washington, DC, in Performing Arts

Experience: I have worked at the Academy since its inception in 1996, at first as the dance teacher and shortly thereafter in an administrative capacity. Previously, I was on staff at Western Michigan University as an adjunct professor in the dance department.

Family: I am originally from Washington, DC but moved to Michigan in 1990. I live in Spring Lake with my husband Park, my daughter Morgan, who attends  WMAAA, and our black lab Sarge.

Hobbies: My hobbies include heading to our place in Onekama, Michigan to enjoy water sports in the summer and snow sports in the winter. I love to travel, exercise and cook.
