Biography
As both an educator and artist, I feel fortunate. Being in a position that can open the eyes and mind to something new is a job that can never grow old. No matter the age of the student, the “a-ha” moment exists in everyone, and it’s that moment that I seek in everything I do. As a potter, my goal is to make ordinary experiences with food extraordinary. I want the object or container to be just as impactful as the food it contains. As a teacher, my goal is to create thinkers. No matter the subject or place in life, the best thing I can give a student is the ability to think, as well as the ability to create solutions. I’ve been blessed with teachers and mentors that have instilled those skills in me, and it’s my goal to help create the same in others.
