What led you to work in this field?
I started dancing as a young child, and danced until I was a young teenager. I always regretted the decision of leaving dance, so I returned to dance as a 27 year old in an established career. After many years of participating in adult classes at DDA, I began to teach. After 17 years of teaching dance at DDA, I am now thrilled to be the director. I am the example that it is never too late. Passion and purpose is what led me here!
