"The best lesson we can learn is how to grow from failure"

Hi I'm Ms. Jess!

Bachelor of Art Education

Minor in Animal Sciences

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. In 2019 I graduated from Olentangy Liberty High School. During my high school experience I developed a deep love for ceramics! 

My love for ceramics developed a desire to teach, by engaging with failure, practice, and an open mind. I found that ceramics gave me a plethora of skills I carry for life. I shifted my major to Art Education and have felt a deep belonging ever since! I have recently graduated from The Ohio State University in May of 2024 and look forward to the rest of my journey!

​

Education is not just a passion but my life's purpose. I believe in engaging with failure-- as discomfort drives success, and using these moments of challenge as momentum to push us forward into greater discovery.

​

As an educator I ask my students to participate in slow, mindful practice. We will never learn unless we try, what once seems impossible opens to door for innovation. Art is the universal language and by persisting in the acquisition of our creative and curious nature we can learn a lot about ourselves and the world around us!

Thanks for joining me on this journey!
