Still living and working in the New York Tri-State area, she has been commissioned to teach and choreograph contemporary, modern and tap work on both a national and international scale. Most recently she was engaged as a judge and convention teacher for Fly Dance National Competition’s 2022 Season, and to teach at NYU in New York City.
