She taught dance for over 45 years, and was the owner and director of her own dance studio, “Ballet to Broadway”, where she taught, produced and created all of the “Ballet to Broadway Shows” for 20 years, from 1980-2000.

In the 1990’s she was featured in her local newspaper for owning and running two area businesses. She was highlighted for owning, teaching and directing her dance studio, “Ballet to Broadway”. She also owned and ran a local Antique Store, travelling to antique doll and toy shows, including the fantastic Atlantic City and fabulous Triple Pier shows in NYC, which encompassed all forms of antique and specialty categories. She managed both of those businesses while being a wife, caregiver, home maker, mother of two children, and mom to several cats and dogs throughout the last few decades - a true tour de force!
