Raised on a family dairy farm near Elkhart Lake, I built a lifelong passion for teaching, creativity, and community. I spent my career with the Sheboygan Area School District, teaching art, advising student groups, directing plays, and helping lead the beloved “Urban Live” talent show. Since retiring in 2023, I continue to share art through local library workshops and creative events in Sheboygan.
