High School Art Teacher Grades 9-12

As recent graduate with BS and BFA degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, I am excited to be at Stratford High School! After growing up in nearby Rozellville, WI and attending Auburndale High School, I have always been familiar with the Stratford area and community. That said, I am eager to integrate the arts where I can, build a classroom community of artists, and share my passion for art. 

Moreover, as an aspiring teacher of art education, I view my role in the educational process is to provide students with an understanding of the visual world in response to themselves, celebrate diversity while building connections, and challenge students to engage in a hands-on, safe learning environment. Intending to guide students toward building an appreciation for the arts, I desire to promote students’ overall mental, emotional, and physical well-being to ensure that they will be prepared to pursue any field or endeavor as well-rounded, creative individuals.
