In 2021, I left my full-time job as a Senior Quantitative Analyst at a bank to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams. At first, I was a 50/50 owner of a western glam clothing/accessories boutique, where I dipped my toes in the self-employed world. Now following my heart, I am a Line & Partner Dance Instructor/Choreographer (Line Dance, Country Swing, West Coast Swing)! I teach private lessons and can be hired to teach at any event of your choosing (country night at a bar/dancehall, birthday party, wedding event, etc.).I have a Master’s in Statistics with Distinction from Northern Arizona University (May 2017). At NAU, I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant for introductory mathematics and statistics courses. I gained experience teaching College Algebra and Applied Statistics as well as managing undergraduate teaching assistants. I have been involved in gymnastics, cheerleading, and dance my entire life, competing since I was a young girl and coaching since I was a high school student. I began country dancing, specifically, in 2015 and started going to conventions and competing in 2022.
