Dancing has always been an important part of Jodi's life. She began
her dance training with Patty Sloan at the Leonardo Dance Studio in West
Deptford. She continued lessons through high school and then began to
teach dance herself.
Jodi attended Glassboro State College and graduated
with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with and additional
certification in Preschool Education.
While in high school and college, Jodi continued dancing and also
became involved with a local theater group. This gave her many
opportunities to perform locally in plays and variety shows throughout New
Jersey. She was even a member of the Broomall String Band for 2 years
and assisted with choreography for the group while she was in college.
After graduating college, Jodi began her teaching career in
Swedesboro, NJ. She worked with children that ranged from 1st-6th
grade. While there, she also helped co-create an after-school drama
club called, "Drug-Free Kids Know How to Act". |
