I fell in love with teaching the moment I knew what a pencil and a chalkboard was. I spent many years inspired by the teachers around me at home and in school, striving to be just as brilliant and engaging as them. Art was also a big aspect of my life, first getting drawn to watercolor and paint, then eventually into capturing photos and creating digital art. Working with various media and being well rounded as an artist is something I am still exploring and I encourage my students to do as well. I strive to be a lifelong learner and I hope my students become inspired by me and my practice to explore deeper lengths of academia with the same of what they love.
