Hello, and welcome to Journey Middle School!

I’m honored to be your art teacher this year. I am a Huntsville native and a graduate of Hazel Green High School. I earned my B.A. in Art with a minor in Education from Athens State University, graduating summa cum laude. I later completed my Master of Education in Instructional Leadership from the University of West Alabama, and in 2021, I became a National Board Certified Teacher.

This is my ninth year in education and my third year at Journey Middle School. I’ve taught a wide variety of visual art courses, including Introduction to Visual Art, Intermediate Visual Art, Advanced Art, Sculpting Art, Mixed Media Art, and Introduction to Fashion Design. My goal is to help students build both technical skills and creative confidence through hands-on projects and exploration of different materials and techniques.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and making art. My favorite mediums include charcoal, pastels, colored pencils, and gouache. I also love working with miniatures. Building tiny, realistic houses and decor by hand is one of my favorite hobbies.

I am excited to see the incredible works of art that each of you will create. Get ready to unleash your creativity as we explore, draw, paint, and sculpt our way through the school year!
