About me: I worked various jobs during college, from waiting tables, hostessing, factory work, cleaning houses, painting, and hanging wallpaper. I also worked at Palmer Monument in Broken Bow, helping draw and cut designs (the patterns) that were sandblasted into the monuments. It was during this time that I experienced other types of work and realized that art was my passion and I wanted to stick with my art degree. I started off considering graphic design but changed my direction to teaching with the help of my adviser. This was before computers so I really didn't enjoy graphic design (by hand). I enjoy all mediums of art and wanted to share my experiences with others through teaching.
When I'm not teaching, I love spending time in nature, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. In 2012, I started my photography business and that keeps me very busy in my spare time. If I'm not taking pictures, usually I'm behind the computer, editing them, emailing clients and taking picture orders.

TRAVELING IS MY JAM.
My favorite travel destinations have been anywhere in the Caribbean , Hawaii and Tahiti. I absolutely love scuba diving in the ocean. I have been a certified scuba diver since 1988. Every year, we travel to a different island to check out the reefs and the underwater creatures. In 2022, I traveled to Tahiti where we swam with sharks and rays, went scuba diving and toured three islands: Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora.
