BIO:
Following graduation of IWA in May of 2002, I continued my educational journey at Central Missouri State University in pursuit of a BFA with a focus on Fiber arts. During my tenure there, I also had the opportunity to study abroad for six months at Acala University in Spain.
I received my BFA in the Spring of 2007. I found gainful employment with Dale Carnegie company where I worked as a graphic designer producing motivational packets for corporate clients. From there I joined up with Concordia Publishing House where I worked as a project manager and collaborated with graphic designers and illustrators in production of instructional religious materials for children.
July of 2013, I left St. Louis to move to Baltimore, Maryland. There I attended Notre Dame University of Maryland and completed a comprehensive graduate level program studying education. I received my M.A.T. in Art Education and Special Education, May of 2014. Since there is no place like home, I returned to St Louis in July 2014.
When I am not working, I enjoy cycling, cooking, traveling, making art, and just enjoying my family and friends.
