What do you coach?
– I am the MHS Hi-Steppers coach

Why did you start coaching?
– I can’t give you just one answer to that question.

1) Dance has been a huge part of my life since the age of three; it has always been my outlet. Being an ER nurse and mom of two kids under the age of two can be stressful. Getting back into dance, even in the coaching form, is a great opportunity for me get away from some of the stressors.
2) I am not originally from McPherson so this has been a great opportunity for me to get to know more people in this community I call my new home.
3) Now that I have mentioned all the selfish reasons I am coaching, I truly love these girls! I love sharing the same passion for dance. I love watching them learn something new or nail a challenging technique. And I also remember how trying it is to be a high school girl, so if I can be another woman these ladies turn to in times of crisis, celebration and everything in between…then that’s an added bonus.

Where do you come from?
– I am originally from St. Francis, KS. (the very NW corner of Kansas)

What makes coaching MHS Students unique?
– The support system. Through dance I have been to several high schools and colleges for sporting events. It is rare to find the triad of support that McPherson has; an amazing/borderline obnoxious student section :), supportive faculty and a community that adores this school.

Do you plan on coaching at MHS indefinitely?
– I would be honored.
