Regina was an integral part of the Griffith Academy of Irish Dance for approximately 20 years prior to co-founding the Coogan School of Irish Dance with Brenda in 1997. Regina was very involved in the business end of the Coogan School, however her true talent was evident in her ability to mentor and motivate her students and to make every dancer and parent of the school feel loved and welcome. Regina attained her United States Citizenship in 2006 and while much of her heart always remained in Ireland, she was very proud to be an American. She was a communicant of St. Bernard's Church in Rockville, CT for 46 years, and she acted as a Eucharistic Minister at the 11:30 and then noon Sunday Mass for almost 30 years. Regina was a devout Catholic who loved her faith and her parish, and her St. Bernard family is extensive.
