A little about me
My artistic journey began at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, where I developed a strong foundation in painting, printmaking, and drawing. I continued my education at Fort Lewis College in Colorado, earning experience in graphic design and expanding my creative skill set.
My graphic design studies led to several creative opportunities and internships, including experiences with The Oklahoman, Grace Living Centers, and the Foundation for Liberating Minds, where I worked as a Design Coordinator for a local nonprofit foundation.
In 2022, I began my teaching career as a PreK–8th Grade Art Teacher in Edmond, where I spent five years inspiring students to explore their creativity and develop their own artistic voices. I now teach Middle School Graphic Design, combining my background in traditional art with my passion for digital design and visual communication.
Art is my life and my passion. Whether I’m painting, designing, teaching, or creating something completely new, I love finding ways to turn ideas into something meaningful, colorful, and uniquely creative.
