I have been teaching elementary art since 2007. I grew up in Oregon and have been lucky enough to live in several parts of the country including California and New York. I graduated summa cum laude from Binghamton University. I was nominated for the 2013 Colorado Art Education Association Charter/Private/Independent Art Teacher of the Year and in 2014 I won the award. I enjoy doing so many things, such as hiking and biking, playing board games, cooking and coffee, and of course doing art.
