I've been an Art Educator at New Albany High School since 2005. I have a degree in Visual Arts Education and Theatre (costume design) from Morehead State University. I earned my Master’s in Education from Indiana University S.E. in 2010. An active member of Art Education Association of Indiana serving on the executive council as District co-rep and Webmaster. I continue my educational journey through conferences at both the state and national levels; leading workshops at the state level. I also attend workshops from other venues to learn new skills and techniques from professional artist in the field that can be brought back to the classroom and shared with my students.

Thanks for submitting!
