Level 2 Instructor
What is your education background?
I graduated from Blaine High School in 2023, and I'm continuing my studies of Graphic Design and Marketing at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul.
What are your dance & teaching backgrounds?
I've been teaching recreational classes ages 2-18 at Jam Hops for 4 years now, and I'm excited to continue teaching this year! In the summer, I also teach water aerobics classes at Bunker Beach, where I am a lifeguard.
What do you love most about teaching dance at Jam Hops?
My favorite part of teaching at Jam Hops is seeing my students express themselves and achieve their goals! My hope is that my students see dance as more than just a sport, but also an art form where they can bring their ideas to life and grow as individuals!
Who is someone that inspires you, and why?
My Nana (Grandma) Diane because she always stays true to herself and her beliefs, and prioritizes spending time with her loved ones. She is also very crafty and enjoys volunteering!
What is your favorite snack food?
Pickle roll-ups (pickles wrapped in ham covered in cream cheese). Although it sounds like an odd combination at first, it is truly delicious, and I would recommend it to everyone who hasn’t tried it!
