I grew up in Southeastern Wisconsin with my four older siblings and school-teacher parents who cultivated in me a passion for the outdoors, art, education, and faith in Christ.
In 2017 I graduated with a BFA in studio art and a BA in Educational studies from Concordia University, Nebraska. Prior to joining The CELA Team, I was working with Wheaton College as the marketing specialist for the Honey Rock Center for Leadership Development. I completed my master’s in outdoor and adventure leadership with Wheaton College in May of 2024.
In my free time I focus on my personal artwork and I enjoy hiking/backing, pickleball, watching movies, and spending quality time with my community.
I am excited to bring my passion for leadership development, art education, and Christian spiritual formation into the art classroom at CELA.
