Yes, it is pronounced like the body part and hello! I get to teach art for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade at Southwest Middle School.

I grew up in a small farming town in Kansas with an abundance of curiosity and love of creating anything I could get my hands on. The small size allowed me to be involved in every kind of school club, activity, and sport. After, I got to study art and design at the University of Kansas for my undergraduate degree. Living in the flourishing community of Lawrence during my undergraduate studies, as well as during my Master's in Education through Pittsburg State University, furthered my belief that art is not only a necessary part of education but of one's whole life and learning and community.

Likes: fresh office and art supplies, donuts and pies, learning and growing, cartoons, creativity, and being outside.
