About Me

Welcome! May your thirst for knowledge thrive at De Anza College!

Biography

I have been teaching for years at De Anza College for both Dance/Theatre and Humanities. 19 years of this time included directing and performing with Janlyn Dance Company, plus choreographing 70 dances for the concert stage, 20 of which were to original sound scores by Doug Morton. I love to teach. Hope to see you in one of my classes!
