I received my degree in fine arts from UW Stout in Menomonie. After years working in the field of graphic design, I earned my teaching certificate from UW Stout.

I grew up in a Christian household, so the gospel has always been something I was immersed in. But something clicked when I attended a chapel service at Lake Lundgren Bible Camp one summer, and I learned what it means to wake up every day ready to follow Jesus.

My husband and I attend Northbrook Church in Richfield with our three sons. I enjoy volunteering in the children’s area there.

I am pleased to teach at OCS because I have the opportunity to relate art to God’s intentionality and design. My goal is to show my students that making art can be an act of worship to our Creator.

When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy taking photos and spending time with my family.
