The arts have always been a passion of mine since I was very young. All throughout my life, I've loved to sing, dance, perform, and especially paint and draw. Art has given me a way to never lose my sense of wonder about the world.

While working as a downhill ski instructor all through high school, I discovered my passion for teaching. I loved teaching students about something I loved, watching the process of learning, and seeing the joy on the faces when they understood what I was teaching them.

I'm overjoyed that there is a career path that allows me to combine my two greatest passions; art and education.

My specialties include, but are not limited to: illustration, painting, ceramics, writing, and "people skills".
