Teaching & Consulting
I am an educator, teaching artist, and consultant who designs learning experiences where art deepens understanding, builds connection, and supports academic growth.
I work with schools, educators, and organizations to integrate art, ceramics, and creative process into meaningful learning environments. My practice bridges studio work, curriculum design, and hands-on teaching across K–12 and adult learning settings.
Background
My work draws from more than 15 years of teaching art in and out of the classroom, developing community and nonprofit programming, supporting adult educators in strengthening their approach to teaching art, and maintaining an independent studio practice.
