She teaches in the Multimedia Graphic Design program at Pikes Peak State College, where she helps students rediscover curiosity, confidence, and creative risk-taking. Her MFA in Design Thinking is from Radford University, where her thesis explored how humor and improvisation build creative self-efficacy.
