I currently teach Visual Arts to Middle School Students grades 6th through 8th. Middle School is my most preferred age group, and I truly feel blessed to love what I do for a living!

Teaching style

I am an educator full of enthusiasm and passion for the arts and teaching. As an art teacher I am dedicated to developing independent thinkers, leaders, and innovators. My hopes are that each child will express themselves in such a way where they will discover individuality, confidence, creative ability, and have fun while doing it!!

My own education history

I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Visual Arts Education from Wayne State University.
