ACTIVITIES
For the last 15+ years I have owned and operated a business and managed all areas of operation. This includes invoices, event coordination, hiring of contracted laborers, as well as day to day activities. I was the face of the company and the direct contact for all vendor relations, Customer Care, and community outreach. I have extensive experience in training students for award winning competition and agency or job opportunities. As the owner of STEPS Dance studio, I also sit on the board of the Dance Teacher Cooperative.
