I have taught kindergarten all around Chicago, from the far South side, to North. I am a classically trained ballerina, and have been dancing since I was a young girl. I teach dance classes and preform around the city to pass on my love of dance. I also teach public programs at the Field Museum because I love science and history.
I love to take and teach dance classes, bake, and to go see shows with my husband. I also like to take my dog, Bo, for walks.
