ABOUT
ABOUT ME

As a grades 6-12 Art teacher at Mount Everett, I am lucky to have the most creative, kind, and fun-loving students in my room every day. My other passion is for cultural exchange and travel. I began taking students on trips years ago, which led to building a robust Global Program complete with student exchanges, cooperative international symposiums, and a global pathway for students in school.

WHAT I'VE DONE

I began my career as an art educator and ceramicist, but always had varied interests. Naturally, this influenced my philosophy of interdisciplinary teaching and learning. Within the context of art, I have been able to create programs and experiences that connect with multiple scales and perspectives, which has been personally fulfilling. This is what led me to Fulbright as well as a path to a deeper understanding and connection to indigenous culture and place-based curriculum.

WHAT I DO

My artwork is born out of project ideas, practicing, and experimenting with media. I also spend loads of time thinking, learning, writing, planning, and coordinating. I find fulfillment in connections within schools and organizations in the county, with whom I share common interests and goals. Community is everything.
