About Ms. Wahlen
My background is in filmmaking (B.S. Film Production, Southern Adventist University, 2014), fashion (FIDM), and art history (M.A. Modern Art History, Theory, and Criticism, Azusa Pacific University, 2020).
I love everything to do with visual world culture and finds that it intersects between many different fields. Between 2010-2011, I had the opportunity to serve eleven months as a teacher in Malawi, Africa and have had a love for teaching ever since. After college, I spent three years as an independent filmmaker, traveling with my husband to Africa, Thailand, China, South and Central America, and Europe, working in documentary and narrative genres. Since 2020, I have been working as an independent art historian and have presented and published several pieces of original work at professional conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. And since 2023, I have taught AP Art History at Aquinas High School in San Bernardino, CA. I also teach Journalism.
My husband, Daniel, and I have twin five-year-old boys named Judah and Killian, and we love to take them to the beach, playground, and pool. In what bits of free time I have, I enjoy painting, embroidering, thrifting, and reading.
