I was born and raised in Minnesota, where I made my first pinch pot in first grade. I continued to learn about ceramics and experiment with other mediums throughout secondary school. I studied sculpture and archaeology at The University of Arizona, and earned a bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Studio Art. I have been based in Tucson ever since, minus a few years in NYC.
When I'm not in my studio, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and playing with my dog.
