In high school, I was a summer camp counselor and student dance teacher. I majored in Dance at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where I explored courses in movement, psychology, special education and art. I later taught at a preschool and my childhood dance studio. I was drawn to the most challenging children and enjoyed creating social-emotional opportunities. When my children started receiving early intervention services, I realized that I wanted to utilize my experiences as a camp counselor, dancer, teacher, nanny, and parent to help others.
