Whether it be through art, music, literature, or aesthetic design, I have always held excitement for the process of creation and artistic expression...

I achieved a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology from Ball State University, in 2023. During my time in college, I gathered many useful skills and knowledge in getting to know and understand people for who they are and the factors that influence their sense of self and identity. Prior to discovering glass, I had focused on aspects of music and musical expression within my anthropological research. I have played piano my whole life and have found it to be a deeply useful tool in order to express myself. The intersections between that plane of ethereal bliss and culture are what intrigues me. 

I found glass entirely by chance. Upon signing up for an introductory course to fill an elective spot, I instantly fell in love with glassblowing in the year of 2020. I caught the "glass bug" as my professor calls it, and have decided to turn this newfound passion into a career!
