I came to Iola in the middle of the 2020 pandemic teach 6-8 Middle School Art.

Prior to my teaching career I worked as a Part-Time Librarian for Neosho County Community College’s Learning Center and a Part-Time Substitue Teacher.

In 2015 I accepted the 7-12^th Grade Art Teacher potision in Neodesha High School, and left there in 2020.

Outside of school I try to create my own art.  I enjoy wheel throwing ceramics, painting and drawing.  I also enjoy playing video games (such as Legend of Zelda, Minecraft, and Skyrim) as well as table top games.  In 2021, I learned and started playing Dungeons and Dragons with some friends in a neighboring town.
