My journey with dance began in 1983, and it's been a guiding passion my whole life, evolving from personal practice to community engagement. I'm so inspired by Nova Dance's commitment to creating unique experiences and believe my skills and lifelong dedication to dance are a great fit for the Board.

For over 40 years, I've been an active participant in community dance programs, which has given me a deep appreciation for the power of dance to build bridges and foster a sense of belonging. My love for dance continues today through my work as a fitness instructor focusing on world dance, where I have the joy of sharing diverse movement traditions with a broad audience. This has given me a unique perspective on community outreach and the importance of creating accessible and inclusive artistic spaces.

I'm excited by the chance to bring my years of dedication, community perspective, and collaborative spirit to the Nova Dance board. The opportunity to contribute to the strategic direction and sustainability of a company with such a clear and compelling artistic mission is a true honor.
