I attended Hope College in Holland, Michigan and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Art Education. After subbing, managing a coffee shop and being a stay at home mom I have been fortunate enough to return to the classroom. In 2016, with 5 days before school started, I was hired to teach Middle School Art part time in Greenville Central Schools. I currently teach Elementary Art in the same district. I also own my own business, creating and selling handcrafted functional stoneware pottery.

I am passionate about art and the process of creativity. It has the ability to expand worldviews and engage imaginations. I believe my job is to plant the seeds so that one day students will appreciate and connect with art; learning something new about themselves and the world.
