She is currently the competition coach for R.O.I.C.'s Brooklyn team as  well as a returning staff member at Camp Seneca Lake nine years running where she is the Head Choreographer and Co-Dance Director. She has made her mark in the industry as well as in the dance communities of New York and New Jersey. She has won multiple awards for her choreography and creativity in movement. She is elated to lead and inspire the next generation of dancers with Progressive Dance Studio.
