I am a teaching artist who loves experimenting, meeting new people, and playing pretend. Across my time at the Columbus Museum of Art, I coordinated community outreach programs that brought supplies and inspiration out to people wherever they were at. I facilitated weekly open studio programming within the walls of the institution that allowed all generations to make and play together in unexpected ways. I also got to be a part of the teams that planned events large and small to raise money and awareness of the importance of creativity in our community. My art influences my teaching and I strive to be constantly learning, changing, and developing alongside those I work with.
