I grew up in the mid-west, in the state of Kansas. I attended the University of Kansas where I studied art history and studio art, graduating with a BFA in Art History. I lived in California for 20 yrs where I raised my family. In 2018, I moved to Baltimore to persue my Masters in Secondary Education and graduated from Johns Hopkins School of Education in 2020. This is my fourth year at Vanguard Collegiate Middle School and I learn something new every year!
