I’m originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area. I earned a BFA in Painting from Kent State University and an MA in Art Education from Case Western Reserve University. I taught in few different districts in Ohio over the course of 7 years before moving to Michigan in 2018. Upon moving here, I taught in Ypsilanti for 3 years before joining AAPS in 2021. I live in Saline with my husband, two step-daughters, dogs, and chickens. Most of my own work is focused on painting and printmaking but I love experimenting with new processes and materials. I'm always up for learning something new and traveling somewhere I've never been. I am thrilled to be a River Rat and a part of the art department at Huron High School.
