An interdisciplinary artist and educator with an MFA, I have taught ceramics, sculpture, metalsmithing, and STEAM across university, K-12, and community settings for over a decade. My teaching emphasizes inclusive, adaptive practices, supporting students with diverse learning needs through creative lesson planning and individualized support. I have served as Artist in Residence at Lux Center for the Arts and Darrow School, and as Adjunct Professor at Doane University, where I taught ceramics and metalsmithing. My experience includes curating exhibitions, managing kiln rooms, and maintaining sculpture studios. I integrate traditional craft with digital tools such as 3D printing and Rhino, and I hold certifications in Mental Health First Aid and emergency response. I am committed to fostering safe, inclusive, and interdisciplinary learning environments that encourage creative exploration and technical skill development.
