Summary
I have been a part of the VSB family for over 15 years training in jazz, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop. I started assisting Miss Laura's preschool classes in 2016, and I have continued ever since. I have been passionate about teaching dance since knowing it was a possibility. I
have been mentored by Miss Laura as a teacher as well as a dancer for several years and has gone through both VSB's Assistant and Junior Instructor Programs and now teaching in Vegreville and Tofield.

- After many years of being a volunteer assistant dance teacher, I was hired to teach a dance class. Throughout the 2021-2022 dance season, I was also hired a few times to substitute teach. During my volunteering, substituting, and now teaching my own class, I have gained skills in patience and understanding, responsibility, leadership, better communication skills, and an ability to work with many different types of people. I have taught ages 3-16 in genres such as hip-hop, ballet, jazz, and acro.
