With each project I meet with clients, create a schedule, design or illustrate, deliver final work, and submit an invoice for payment. If you were to pull away the day-to-day revealing the core of what I do is storytelling. I tell stories that are visually engaging to viewers.

During my tenure, with students’ experience in mind, I created multifaceted learning approaches that engaged the individual learner. With hands-on project-based assignments, students were excited to participate and encouraged to explore their interests. I believe ideas get better when they are shared. This philosophy leads to numerous collaborations with students and educators. While there, I was able to inspire the community by connecting them through community art installations. •Researched and authored the Visual Arts curriculum •Collaborated with other educators to establish and develop the first STEAM course in the school’s history •Designed specialized large-scale art installations that were site-specific •Purchased supplies for school staying within a given budget
