Meet the dance teachers!

Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it continues to be one of my greatest passions. As a young girl, I underwent multiple surgeries on my legs and was told that becoming a dancer might be difficult. Rather than discouraging me, that challenge inspired me to work even harder and fueled my determination to pursue the sport I loved.

I began dancing through show choir before expanding my training into jazz, hip hop, acro, lyrical, contemporary, ballet, competitive dance, and more. What started as a love for movement and music grew into a lifelong passion for the discipline, artistry, and confidence that dance helps build.

With 13 years of dance experience, I have had the opportunity to serve as Studio Manager at Beth's Dance Studio in Holmen before its closure and most recently taught at a dance studio in Onalaska. Those experiences have strengthened my passion for teaching and reinforced my belief that every dancer deserves a positive, encouraging environment where they can thrive.

As Co-Owner of On Pointe Dance Studio, my goal is to help every dancer grow not only in technique, but in confidence, resilience, and self-belief. I strive to create classes where dancers feel challenged, supported, and excited to learn while discovering just how capable they truly are.

Favorite Styles: Lyrical, Jazz & Acro 💙

Fun Fact: My dance journey began with doctors telling me I might never dance—and today I have the privilege of helping inspire the next generation of dancers to believe in themselves and never give up on their dreams.

Dance has been a lifelong passion of mine. I began dancing at a young age and trained in multiple styles before earning my Bachelor's degree in Dance and Business from Viterbo University. I later completed my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, combining my love of dance with a passion for leadership and business.

Prior to co-founding On Pointe Dance Studio, I owned and operated a dance studio in Holmen, Wisconsin, for five years. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for not only quality dance instruction, but also the lasting impact a positive, encouraging studio environment can have on young dancers and their families.

While I teach a limited number of classes, I also oversee the studio's day-to-day operations, curriculum, communication, and long-term vision. My goal is to create a studio where families feel welcomed, communication is clear, and dancers receive exceptional training in a supportive and uplifting environment.

I believe dance is about so much more than learning steps. It builds confidence, discipline, resilience, friendships, and a lifelong love of movement. Every dancer deserves to feel challenged, encouraged, and celebrated, and I hope each student leaves our studio not only as a stronger dancer, but as a more confident person.

Favorite Styles: Ballet and Acro 🩰

Fun Fact: When I'm not at the studio, I work as an Enterprise Risk Analyst full time at Dairyland Power Cooperative in La Crosse, WI, and I love combining organization, creativity, and big-picture planning to help On Pointe continue to grow!
