I am an artist and arts educator currently based in the Baltimore-DC area. 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, and Smithsonian museum educational programs.
​
As an artist, I am passionate about researching obscure histories
and physically constructing what is internal and intangible. My work is often inspired by family history, structures, systems, maps, and memories. I enjoy learning new material processes, though my specialty lies in sculptural work. Additionally, I have worked in the local theatre world designing and fabricating props.
​
Between teaching, researching, and making, I make space to knit, swing dance, and discover hiking paths around the city.
