She acted in commercials and theater (back in the day). She also was a competitive and performance dancer traveling all over the country. Her specialty was jazz and lyrical.
More recently she has taught WERQ dance fitness and yoga in San Diego privately and in different fitness facilities.
She hopes to bring her passion and experience in mindfulness, yoga and life coaching to support students with anxiety, and help them discover what's in the way of showing up as their best selves. She also greatly looks forward to supporting SCPA to become a No Place For Hate accredited school with ADL, by leading a committee of passionate and dedicated students to continue to create a school culture of respect and equality for all. Finally she wants her students to fall in love with Spanish so they will become lifelong language learners.
She believes in teaching to the whole child by creating strong relationships first. She believes that all students learn in their own way and her job is to support students in the self-exploration to find out how they best learn. Finally, working to create content relevant to each student's lives and interests is the key to making learning fun and meaningful! She feels at home at SCPA and is so grateful to be here!
