(She/Her/Hers) I have taught K-5 visual art, drama, and creative movement in Seattle, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. My greatest joy is helping students discover their unique talents and ways to express themselves. My focus is on dismantling barriers to art, so that all students see themselves as artists. I have a B.A. in Art History and a M.Ed. in Arts Integration. When I am not teaching I love gardening, making art, cooking, backpacking, yoga, and traveling with my husband, teenage daughter, and our dog. My favorite thing about teaching at Madrona is the wonderful diverse community of staff, families, and students!
