Welcome to my teacher page! I love teaching art and started my teaching career in 1989. Over the years, I have taught in every grade K through 12 and worked in a variety of school settings from inner city to rural environments. My career has taken me through four different states and five school districts. I am a proud graduate of Michigan State University where I obtained my teaching certification. From MSU, I also acquired a BA in Studio Art, a BA In Video Production, and a MS in Athletic Administration. Eventually, I would add an Educational Administration Certification from Southern Oregon University. Before starting my teaching career, I worked as a graphic designer for a sign company and took on many freelance assignments. Since I started my teaching career, I have worn many hats in the classroom, teaching photography, ceramics, introductory art, yearbook, video production, graphic design, advanced art, and even some subjects outside of the art curriculum. Currently I am excited to teach digital art & design and color and design at SMHS. I can be reached at [email protected]. Thank you for stopping in and please scroll through the images on the design pages and in our online student art show. Be sure to check back often as the art gallery will change and evolve.
