Favorite Part of Job? Watching the students dance from their hearts, following their passions and believing in themselves. I truly have the best job in the world :)

Favorite Social Media: Facebook helps me to stay in touch with my family and friends in England
Favorite Website: findandgoseek.net is a great resource for parents in Vermont.
Vermont Business Person you would like to have lunch with: Ben & Jerry. What they have done is unbelievable, from a scoop shop in Burlington to the rest of the world.
Career Highlights: I have danced and taught in different countries around the world, but I can honestly say that the highlight of my career is every time I see a student, young or old, dance passionately, there is nothing like it.
Community Involvement: Fusion 802 is a community in which students and families come together and support each other. Outside of Fusion 802 our dancers, teachers and families can be found performing/walking for the Making Strides For Breast Cancer Awareness event, performing in nursing homes and supporting other local businesses and organizations like VPR, Camp Ta Kumpta, Building Bright Futures and Lyric Theatre.
