About

I enjoy being able to give back to a program that has given so much to me. As an original and first participant of the FootLights program it's an honor to have grown through the years and have held numberous positions with in the program I now currently operate as Program Director and Master instructor. FootLights has so much to offer and now as my two daughters grow up in FootLights it has become a generational gift for my youth to enjoy as well.

When I graduated from high school, I was teacher assistant for the FootLights program. That is where my teaching began to develop and has curated, matured through the past 16 years.
