In search of beautiful places and creative opportunities, life brought me to Alaska this past April, and to Steller very recently.  I am thrilled to be a part of such a progressive and dynamic community of teachers and learners.  Originally, I am from Northeastern Pennsylvania.  I attended college at Johnson State College in Vermont, and graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a degree in K-12 Art Education.  Since then, I have wandered the mountains of the Adirondacks in upstate New York and Aspen, Colorado teaching skiing and art.  This is my first position as a full-time classroom art teacher.  I plan to continue my enthusiasm and experience of teaching in alternative settings in an experiential manner as the art teacher at Steller.  My mission is to explore life and expand the mind.  I am elated to share the experience with others.
