I love being part of such a positive and creative space! My coworkers are some of my closest friends, and together we get to spread joy through art every day. It’s such a special feeling to help people create something they’re proud of while doing what I love.
In my free time, I love spending time with my dog and family, throwing pottery outside of work, gardening, and (when I’m not elbow-deep in clay or dirt) studying for college!
I’m currently in college studying education, and my dream is to become either an art teacher or a first-grade teacher. I want to share my love of creativity and learning with my future students!
I’m so grateful to be part of the Burst of Butterflies family- it’s such an inspiring, welcoming place to grow as both an artist and a person.
