I'm inspired by my love of music, fashion, and design. Favorite artists and designers include Frida Kahlo, Jean Michel Basquit, Cy Twombly, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Paula Scher, and Andrew Warhola. Other inspiration comes from growing up in Houston, Texas and from my travels to Milwaukee, Costa Rica, Mexio, and Spain. In 2009, I graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art + Design with a major in Communication Design and minor in printmaking. In 2013, I officially became a teacher and entered the world of early childhood learning. In my third year of teaching, I was honored with Teacher of the Year and District Teacher of the Year Finalist. I became an art teacher in 2016 and won teacher of the year in 2018 and 2020.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me exploring Montrose, escaping back to the Midwest, hanging out with royalty at Disney, making up recipes in the kitchen, or laughing at memes with my husband.
