Specifically her favorite, Liaison for 2 years with the national scholarship arts program at Quartz Mountain in Oklahoma.  She has choreographed many award winning pieces for festivals and competitions in the Southern and Western United States. Teaching is close to her heart and you can always find her “talking shop” about the kinesiology of technique, body care, or injury prevention.

She loves that there is always so much going on and so many different opportunities at Synergy.
