I'm a career arts educator and hold a PHD in Learning, Teaching and Curriculum from the University of Missouri. My research looks at how we make educational spaces and systems more just. As an instructor, I am preparing future educators to leverage their creativity to design and craft more engaging creative learning experiences for their students! I live here in Columbia with my husband, three boys, and two doodles!
