A ceramic artist and educator with an MFA in Ceramics, I have taught ceramics at the university level as Instructor of Record and Adjunct Professor, where I developed curriculum for introductory courses, facilitated critiques, and mentored students in technical and conceptual development. My teaching emphasizes wheel throwing, hand-building, and glaze chemistry, tailored to diverse learning styles. Beyond the classroom, I have served as Assistant Gallery Director, curating exhibitions, managing installation logistics, and coordinating promotional outreach. My experience as a ceramic studio technician includes maintaining equipment, mixing glazes, and ensuring safe studio operations. I am committed to fostering hands-on, material-based learning that integrates technical skill with creative exploration, while also preparing students for professional practices such as portfolio development and exhibition participation.
