Born in 1991 in the United States, I currently call Derby, KS, my home. Serving as a high school ceramics teacher at Wichita Heights High School in Wichita, KS, I am deeply rooted in the local community. My educational journey led me to obtain a B.A. in ceramics and photography from Friends University in 2015, solidifying my commitment to the arts.

​

A proud native of the Wichita area, I am currently pursuing my MFA at Fort Hays State University. This academic pursuit not only allows me to refine my creative endeavors but also empowers me to enhance my skills in ceramics. Dedicated to becoming an exemplary art educator, I am passionate about imparting knowledge and fostering creativity in my students.

​

Beyond the classroom, I actively showcase my work at local exhibitions, with aspirations to gain recognition on a national scale. My artistic journey is a continuous evolution, driven by the desire to excel in both personal expression and educational impact.
