She is proactive about presenting dance material in ways students find effective and fun. She works in many ways to increase the impact of her instruction, including research trips overseas.

  "She is a dedicated artist, fine entertainer and excellent dance instructor, and a respected member of my dance company, Jawaahir, for more than a decade.

  "She is admired and respected in by other instructors and dancers. She works well with and respects others, and always arrives promptly for performances, classes and rehearsals. She would fit nicely into any teaching staff environment."
