Biography: I did not start my journey in dance. I served in the military for 10 years, during which I was injured while deployed. I began using dance as a form of therapy, and it quickly became a passion of mine in college. I started on a collegiate dance team and danced for five years while earning my bachelor’s degree. After that, I joined Fred Astaire Brookfield, where I taught for four years. I truly love dance and believe in its transformative power in people’s lives.
