Hello and welcome to dance at Ed White Middle School. I am so glad you're here 😁

My love for dance began at an early age, but my first taste of performing was when I joined my high school dance team. I fell in love with football season and Friday night lights. After dancing all four years in high school on the dance team, I was fortunate enough to continue dancing and made my college dance team, Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. (GO ISLANDERS!) Throughout my college years, I also danced for the local Arena Football team, the Corpus Christi Sharks. 

This is my 14th year in education and my 12th year in the classroom. I have taught grades, kindergarten, 1st and 2nd as well as two years teaching middle school dance. I was also a literacy coach and curriculum coordinator. I look forward to all the amazing things we will be learning in dance this school year.
