Background
I started part-time employment with Dordt in 2015 as the theatre department office assistant. The other parts of my time were filled with teaching dance classes and raising a family. In 2020, I moved to a full-time position of theatre arts office and marketing manager. In December of 2022, I completed my master of arts education with a degree in dance education - and am now teaching dance classes at Dordt every semester.
