In 2008 she purchased a former Discount Tire Center warehouse off First Street and created Studio 13 Dance, where 12 professionals teach close to 200 budding young dancers.

Each year she enters six or seven dance competitions and one national contest. In 2014 she had been on eight different dance teams and had performed four solo routines and two duets.
