"I chose to attend UW-Green Bay because of my time spent at UWGB art camps. I took the ceramics class at the camp for 3 years in high school. After I graduated, I started assistant teaching at the camp alongside Dean Hoegger. Here I fell in love with UWGB’s impressive ceramics studio, raku firing and being a part of the UWGB community."
