ABOUT ME (AND OUR INSTRUCTORS + ASSISTANTS) 

I’m a mom of five teens and young adults, and I’ve loved living a creative life. I grew up surrounded by athletics and the arts...my mom was a professional ballerina and performer, and my dad a sports coach and teacher. My own youth was filled with dance, musical theater, and years of teaching and choreographing at my mother's studio in Salt Lake City. I danced on scholarship at Utah State, graduated from the University of Utah in Human Development, and have spent the years since blending creativity, business, and community.

I’ve founded several businesses from a recurring, handmade market featuring 70+ artisans, to a jewelry company that grew far beyond my expectations, to my ongoing work as a professional photographer. Alongside those successes (and plenty of “dust myself off and try again” moments), I’ve found some of my greatest fulfillment teaching and mentoring, whether in creative arts, dance, photography, leadership, religion, or life skills. Several years ago, when my oldest was 14 and my youngest was 5, I was surprised to feel the call to homeschool. I ended up putting a lot of my business ventures aside to focus on working more closely with my own kids. But as they are now mostly grown, it's time for me to get back to work in other ways, including with your children!

Most classes are led by me, but I also work with a few trusted instructors—talented, creative young adults (often former students themselves) who are wonderful with kids. As The Creators’ Workshop grows, you may also meet seasoned guest mentors who bring their own artistic perspectives to our community.

Working with your families brings me so much joy and hope for the future!
