Currently I live in Washington, DC, but I grew up on a farm in Iowa with my parents and two
sisters, Sarah and Andrea.  Andrea is my twin.  After graduating high
school, Andrea and I went to Minneapolis for college. We both
graduated with a BFA in Illustration and Animation. After college, she felt led to Oregon, and I felt led to Boston, MA.  I
worked as an animator for four years on multiple projects.
After becoming unemployed, God provided three jobs in one day.
I never applied to any of them! God is so GOOD! The last opportunity
was teaching
high school animation in Washington DC.  For some reason, I couldn’t say no.  I had dreams about the job.  At the interview, I felt comfortable and there was art
everywhere. If I had to teach anywhere, this was the place!  I have
been teaching for four years; it has been challenging yet rewarding. I
am sad to leave but feel called to go. I am so excited to see what God
has in store!
