Her favorite learning experiences in clay include hand building classes with Ruth Easterbrook through the Harvard Clay Program, ceramics with Adriana DePalma at the Middletown Arts Center, and wheel throwing lessons with Ben Clark at Queen City Clay.

She's participated in the Dayton Second Street Market, Easton Farm Market, and the Christmas in Springboro Festival.
