I have enjoyed working with Highland Park students since 1997. I attended the College of Visual Art in St Paul and the University of Wisconsin Riverfalls where I received my undergraduate degree in Art Education. I received my Masters of Education from St Mary's University of Minnesota. Art is an exciting and challenging subject for many students. Working as an MYP teacher, I enjoy working with my colleagues at the high school and the middle school ensuring that each student's experiences build upon their past art learning to produce well informed, educated, and articulate graduates of the arts.

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my husband, two sons and our Dogs and Cat. I also enjoy making art or sewing if I can find a spare moment, collecting cool objects from mid-century or the golden age of American culture as well as Camping, Hiking and Gardening..
