I have worked in fibers all my life and enjoy pairing my strong art historical skillset with my art practice to create unique hands-on learning experiences for fiber artists at all levels of study. My current course offerings are: beginning inkle, rigid heddle, and kumihimo weaving. I am developing a 4-week experimental archaeology course on the Bayeux Tapestry and plan to expand my offerings to soft sculpture construction, using mixed media in the fiber arts, and textile color theory.

I have taught both halves of the traditional art history survey coupling through a global lens at Florida State University (2017, 2018, 2019); Pfeiffer University (2021); and in my current role as Art History Instructor at Guilford Technical College (2022–present).

My courses decolonize the field of art history, treating the myriad visual cultures, movements, and developments in art history through a globalized lens. Recently, I have designed an asynchronous learning experience devoted to art outside of the westernized canon (Europe and the United States) at Guilford Tech.

With a basis in gender studies, I approach my teaching, course design, and research through an intersectional lens. I have taught courses on gender and art at Florida State University and am currently developing an upper-level lecture course on identity in art history. I am deeply committed to inclusivity, equity, and accessibility in each of my course designs, instructional settings, and professional development events.
