I am a ceramics-based maker and educator interested in material process, repetition, and the relationship between making and mindfulness. My practice uses clay to explore touch, time, and embodied experience, with a strong emphasis on teaching as a way to share these values and make creative practice accessible to others. Through workshops and guided learning, I encourage confidence, curiosity, and a deeper engagement with process over outcome. This teaching focus informs my own making, creating a reciprocal relationship between learning and practice. I am excited to integrate this shared learning into both my creative work and my teaching practice.
