They hold a BFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Yale School of Art, where they received the Katherine Beinecke Michel Scholarship and the Fannie B.

As an educator, Ross approaches the classroom as a site where they can co-create critical agency with students. They have taught at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2023, they will serve as part-time faculty at Parsons School of Design, The New School, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Art at Vassar College.
