My educational journey began at Kent's Hill, a boarding school in Maine. I went on to pursue a degree at The University of Maine at Augusta, where I received my BA in a liberal arts degree. I later continued my educational journey by pursuing my Masters in Visual Arts from Jacksonville University. At Jacksonville University I had the opportunity to teach a figure drawing class. I have seven years of experience teaching grades 6th to 12th grade. Most recently my experience is working for the Maine public school system, as an art teacher with grades K-12. I teach studio art courses to Middle school students, while I teach High school students advance drawing, painting, sculpture, and foundational art classes. With every art student that I have mentored, I have encouraged them to explore their potential to advance skills in new mediums and push conceptual thinking.
