She was a 1969 graduate of Wapakoneta High School and a graduate of The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.

Sandi’s involvement in and enthusiasm for dance began early in her school years and continued on throughout her life.

Prior to devoting herself solely to her career as dance instructor she was employed for a number of year at Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities providing vocational training.

She returned to her hometown of Cridersville, Ohio upon retirement, eventually moving to Wapakoneta.
