About Me
I am a Colorado native, my parents were born here and I have lived here since I was 1. I am from Manitou Springs which is located at the base of Pikes Peak. I am a true Coloradoan and as such I enjoy all things outdoorsy such as hiking and climbing and biking. My favorite hobbies include playing volleyball or basketball, making music with my wonderful sister, and of course creating works of art. I was inspired to become a teacher after working a summer camp in Kansas City. Both my parents were teachers and my sister is one as well but I didn't realize that it was also my calling until I worked with those kids. I also tried to go without art classes in college and would have "artistic explosions" as my mom called them and I realized I needed an outlet for my art. I have thoroughly enjoyed combining my passions while educating young minds in the classroom.
