Meet Your Teacher

Prior Experience: I've been teaching art at Corvallis Middle School since the Fall of 1995, and it gets more fun all the time. My prior teaching experience includes a two-year tour of duty in the US Peace Corps where I taught art to teens at a secondary school in rural Botswana. I have also taught part-time at Eastern Montana College (now MSU-Billings) in Billings, Montana and have worked as a summer camp counselor in previous years.

Interests and Hobbies: I have a million and one interests! But my favorites are doing my own artwork, reading, gardening, and most of all, outdoor sports.
