She has worked at a number of ceramic studios including The Saratoga Clay Arts Center in upstate NY, the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, FL and the Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, IL.

Her work has been exhibited across the United States and is in the permanent collection of The Newcomb Museum of Art. She is the recipient of the Lisa Elwell Ceramic Artist Endowed Encouragement Award, ArtFields Merit Award, Hambidge Residency Award and the Welch Fellowship. She is currently an instructor and Artist-In-Residence at Mudflat Studio in Somerville, MA.
