I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) from the University of Wyoming in Laramie and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in K–12 Art Education from Chadron State College. While completing my degrees, I had the opportunity to work with many contemporary artists through internships and in my role as the Collections Assistant at the University of Wyoming Art Museum. These experiences strengthened both my artistic practice and my passion for art education.

Teaching is truly my passion, and I love sharing my appreciation for the fine arts with my students. My goal is to create a welcoming, creative classroom where every student has the opportunity to grow, explore, and express themselves through art.
