About Denise

Hello! I have been an educator for 26 years. I earned my MFA in dance from NYU - Tisch School of the Arts. I was the Founding Director of Dance at Mercersburg Academy in Mercersburg, PA for 20 years when I decided to accept a job at Salem Academy as Director of Residential Life and after two years, I accepted a position at Chatham Hall as Assistant Dean of Students all to be closer to my dad. Since his recent passing, I now have the opportunity to pivot in my career, ready for a change, but still honor my gift of connecting with children. I have taught many new mothers and their babies a movement class called Brain Compatible Dance Education (yes, tummy time!) as I am certified in this technique. I have worked with all ages, am First Aid and CPR certified and I have a clean driving and background record. I hope you will consider a phone call to start a conversation on the position you hope to fill. Thank you for your time and consideration. All My Best, Denise
