A studio artist and educator with an MFA from California College of the Arts, I teach art history and appreciation at the university level, including within correctional facilities through the Pell Grant Second Chance program—an experience that has deepened my commitment to accessible, adaptive education. I have developed curriculum for both in-person and online art survey courses, tailoring instruction to diverse and challenging learning environments. Beyond the university, I serve as Education Officer at a nonprofit organization, where I lead STEAM programming, manage operations, and teach fabrication processes including ceramics, woodworking, 3D printing, and laser engraving. My professional studio practice includes ceramics and interdisciplinary work exhibited nationally and internationally, with artist residencies at CRETA Rome and Red Lodge Clay Center. I bring a broad range of technical expertise and a deep commitment to expanding educational opportunity across communities.
