Biography

Hello! I’m Samantha, and I’m thrilled to bring my passion for art to the kids at Advantage Arts Academy. I’m excited to introduce them to various artistic media, encourage their self-expression, and help them discover their creative potential. I believe that every mistake is a step forward and a chance to explore our imaginations. Seeing a child overcome doubts and take pride in their creations is truly rewarding.

I was born and raised in Utah in a vibrant, musically inclined family. After spending over seven years living in New Zealand, where I had my three wonderful children, we returned to Utah in 2021. We cherish the beauty of all four seasons and love exploring the mountains. Our family enjoys driving through the canyons, camping, fishing, walking our dog, and gathering around a campfire with marshmallows. When we’re not outside, you’ll find us reading, crafting, watching movies, or snuggling up together as a family.

 I can’t wait to see the incredible artwork that will emerge from the students at AAA and to support each child as they discover the joy of creating.
