I'm an elementary art teacher in Olathe. Year 22! I love everything about my job and the opportunity to share my love of art with them and our community, often working on city-wide projects and murals. Growing up in a small town, not being exposed to the arts from an early age was a detriment to my creativity and a perfect storm for trouble, often tagging and drawing on things I shouldn't have. My students love hearing those staories and the reflections I have on a need for art as an outlet on us rowdy kids that never grow up;)
