Biography
Since my arrival at St. Petersburg College, I have worn several hats. I am a founder, director and choreographer for CoMoiton Dance Theatre, the resident dance company of St. Petersburg College. CoMotion Dance Theatre is in its 22nd season. With the company dancers, I have dabbled in many styles of Modern Dance, including aerial dance, working primarily with trapeze. I have been a professor of Humanities since 2002.
Currently, I am working as the Academic Department Chair for the department of Humanities and Fine Arts.
My educational background includes a BFA in Dance, an MS in Heath Education and extensive graduate work in Humanities.
