Welcome to My Website!
My Mission
I will teach through the arts to instill a joy of learning in my students. I will teach them to extend their education beyond the classroom and encourage them to have a meaningful relationship with arts throughout their lives.
About Me
As a native of Columbus, Ohio I have pursued living and teaching in Colorado for the past two years. A lifelong Buckeye, I graduated from The Ohio State University with my Bachelors in Art Education. My masters thesis involves designing meaningful curriculum for Digital Art and Photography courses for high school students.
As a practicing artist and art educator I have always known that I wanted to live out west. Through researching schools and talking to fellow educators, I discovered Peak to Peak Charter School. I am both honored and proud to be apart of a dynamic community focused on individual student success through skill mastery. I hope to impart the skills and techniques needed for your student to better understand art and artists.
In order to create a classroom environment where all students can learn and create, I enforce classroom rules based on respect and responsibility. In the lively discussions of the materials we are studying, I insist on a safe environment where students can express their thoughts and feelings while being tolerant and respectful of other views.

All best,
