I have a BA from University of Oregon and an MFA from University of Colorado-Boulder. I am a licensed K-12 Dance Teacher as well. Over the years, I have received funding for my artistic work from the McKnight Foundation, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, the Jerome Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board.
