Born a military brat, my family eventually settled in Madison, where I graduated from Bob Jones High School. I went to several colleges and universities, (including a semester abroad in Norway). I landed at Troy University and earned my BS in Art Education in 2008. I have been teaching in Alabama since, including Tuscaloosa City Schools, and Bob Jones High School, and have been with James Clemens since day 1. I married my husband in 2010, and we have two beautiful children: Magnus and Ingrid. I am passionate about art, travel, and food. I am the sponsor for the National Art Honor Society (NAHS), Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), and Travelers Society. If you are a student who wants to get involved in any of the things I love, come see me during Refuel and we'll find a way to integrate you into the communities that suit your interests.
