Andrea has been a part of the JMBS family since she was 8 years old. She began her teaching career in 2007 and has gained experience teaching all ages from 3- 73. Andrea found her passion in working with young children as the creative dance specialist over the last 13 years. She believes in creating a safe, loving, nurturing environment for all of her students to come as they are and express themselves, and to be a little silly in the process.

Andrea lives in Ogden with her husband and 6 children. In her spare time, she loves to rollerblade and play card games with her family, listen to audiobooks, and bake yummy treats!

"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has- or ever will have- something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression." -Fred Rogers
