She strives to encourage healthy short and long term goal-setting and positive ways to achieve them.

She offers private lessons, semi-private lessons, team and community camps and clinics, leadership trainings, and team or individual choreography. The motto she lives by: “Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to, it’s not for them.
