I've taught art at West Maple since 2010 and I love my job. My classroom is a creatively supportive environment that allows all children to be successful and grow as artists. We engage in all media throughout the year - drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and digital art.

In addition to teaching art, I serve on numerous school and district committees, as well as facilitate before/after school student groups.

I attended Wayne State University for both bachelors and masters coursework. Before teaching at Birmingham Public Schools, I taught art at South Lake Schools. My free time is spent with my family, friends, and dogs. I'm also very active in the local art, cycling, and running communities.
