Throughout her career she has built both dance and theater programs. This is her 13th year at Oxford High School where she is the Director of the academic dance program, which she has been developing since 2014. The program includes a foundational course, International Baccalaureate (IB) course, and a conservatory course designed for students who are interested in pursing dance as a career. Oxford High School awarded her as Teacher of the Year for 2025-2026. Her work was selected to be showcased at the 2025 Oakland Dance Festival.
