I was born and raised in Grass Valley, CA where I took my first pottery class at the age of 5. I still have my first ceramic art piece and gets put out every year at Halloween. I do not take for granted the experience I had getting to create at such a young age. I love getting to teach art to high schoolers. I hope to bring my love of art and passion for connecting with people to the classroom to create a welcoming and relaxing space for students to tap into their artistic side
