I began teaching years ago to share my love and experience of art with students. Over the years, my students have created exceptional student week murals and black-light art shows, and have learned how to sew, paint, make collages, use clay, and various other techniques. I was fortunate enough to be nominated as teacher of the year in 2020, and continue to look for ways to have students connect to art. When I'm not at school, I can be found reading, making my own art, traveling, hiking, or playing video games with my husband.
