I am trained as an artist in healthcare with experience working with people with dementia, cancer patients, hospitalized children, people in long term hospital stays, and more. I studied at the University of South Dakota, where I received my BFA in Painting with coursework in Arts in Health programming. I received additional training at University of Florida Shands Center for Arts in Medicine Intensives.
