Serenity grew up dancing since the age of four with various dance studios in the Bay Area such as Academy for the Performing Arts under the direction of Deborah Skinner and Janet Nordgren, Angela Marie’s Choreographics and at Ohlone College under the direction of Janel Tomblin-Brwon.

She has also been heavily involved in the local theatre community such as The New Conservatory Theatre Centre in San Francisco and a few productions at Ohlone College like, “West Side Story”, “A Flew in Her Ear”, “ Blackbird”, “ Crashing Heaven”, ”A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “A Cry of Players”, and “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”. Her directing credits include Ohlone College’s Student Repertory production of “Dolores”, “Still Love”, and “A Play for Germs”.

Serenity is currently teaching dance in local after school arts programs, and at Joanne Brown Dancers in Union City. In 1997 she attended the California State Summer School for the Arts to study theatre under the direction of Donald Forest and Michael Fields and at the CSU Summer Arts in 2003 to study dance with Joe Goode Performance Group and Rennie Harris Puremovement.
