Renee is a well experienced dancer, instructor, and choreographer. She was born in Chicago, IL, where she received extensive training in the arts. Renee trained under the auspices of the late Shirley Hall-Bass at Sammy Dyer School of the Theatre. Her training included:  ballet, classical ballet, tap, jazz, modern jazz, and gymnastics. She began teaching there at the age of 14. Performing in annual dance musical revues and participating in the cultural exchange programs with their sister school, Bahamas School of Dance, made Renee an asset to the school.

Renee's gifts and talents began to grow spiritually under the leadership of Bishop Edward Peecher and Prophetess Katie Peecher of Chicago Embassy Church, formerly known as New Heritage Cathedral in Chicago, IL. As she faithfully submitted to the leadership of her church, numerous doors for ministry were opened.

She has also created dances for a local Christian television station in Chicago.
