Hello! I am so excited for this school year! This is my first year of teaching and I am thrilled to be a part of the Athlos community. I have a creative background in floral design and am ready to bring the skills I have learned in that career into my classroom! In my free time I enjoy pottery, gardening, and spending quality time with friends and family. I was raised in Wisconsin, yes that means I am a Packer fan! I have two cats, Millie, who is blind and Rosie. I lived in Chang Mai, Thailand for 16 months during my college years. I have always loved art and I’m excited to share my passion with my students! Art is more then something you can look at. It is a way you can express yourself, portray emotions, and make a statement. Art is a language and I’m excited to teach you how to speak it.
