PROFILE:

I am a Visual Arts Educator with a variety of experiences teaching in both traditional and non-traditional settings.  For 6 ½ years I taught all levels in K-12 as a certified art teacher.  I spent 4 additional years teaching children and adults at local art centers and as a docent and educator at a University Museum, while also developing my own art practice and professional goals.  I recently completed my Master of Fine Arts Degree, while teaching sculpture and drawing courses at the undergraduate level.
