I am an artist and arts educator living in Berwick, ME. Since graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in the spring of 2016 with a BFA and certification in Art Education (K-12), I have spent time teaching in after-school programs, Baltimore City classrooms, the Maryland Science Center, Smithsonian museum youth and family educational programs, and a middle school art classroom in Lowell, Massachusetts.

As an artist, I am passionate about researching oddities and hidden history. Through my art, I physically representing mental patterns and connections between history, science, and self. My work is often inspired by family stories, structures, systems, maps, and  memories. I enjoy learning new material processes, though my specialty lies in sculptural work. Additionally, I have worked in DC-area theaters designing and fabricating props.

Outside of teaching, researching, and making, I enjoy refinishing and repurposing furniture and hanging out with my husband and our pet bird.
