I have been teaching art to students of all ages since 1999. I love my job, helping kids create and the joy of creating art all day long, what more could I ask for? I have been teaching elementary art since 2001, but started off my career teaching high school. People always ask me which age I like to teach the most and I honestly love them all for different reasons. My favorite moments are when a student does something they are proud of and you can see it on their face.

On a more personal note I am married to a software engineer named Jeremy. We have two children, Tate, six years old, and Mason, 4 years old. They keep us very busy! We love to bike, swim, ski, hike, and play together. My whole family gets annoyed with how many pictures I take, but they love that I take the time to document their lives through scrap booking and iMovies (in hindsight of course).
