Summary

I am a student attending the University of Toronto to obtain my Bachelor of Arts. My goal in the future is to become an elementary school teacher. I already work in the teaching field, educating young aspiring dancers. I grew up a competitive dancer and completed my R.A.D. (Royal Academy of Dance) exams. I currently work as performer, choreographer, and teacher in Toronto. I enjoy working with young children, and have also received my babysitters license. I communicate well with others and enjoy getting to meet and work with new people. I have experience working behind a desk, communicating via phone, email, and in person with others. I enjoy working with new people, and am very flexible with schedules and last minute changes. Background includes dance performance, recital planning, performance management and classroom instruction. Passionate about instilling a love of dance in children, as well as techniques and strength for long-term benefits.
