​

 When did you decided to go into  teaching? 

​

 I discovered that I wanted to combine my love of art and education when I    was 18. 

​

 Why? 

 

 I was inspired by the passion that my teachers held whenever they taught. 

​

 What is your experience? 

​

 I have worked with children of all backgrounds, abilities, and skills...  Between my mother's daycare and volunteering with autistic children 

 and teens, I have a vast amounts of experience and patience. 

 

 What do you like to teach? 

 

 My favorite subjects to teach are Ceramics and Art History because those   two are my strengths. However, I am comfortable teaching painting and    graphic design as well. I also prefer teaching in high school and   beyond because I can challenge my students. 

 

 Who are your favorite artists? 

​

 Frida Khalo, Vincent Van Gogh, William D. Kooning, Jean-Honoré    Fragonard,  Caravaggio, and Jackson Pollock. 

 

 What is a random fact about yourself? 

​

 I love animals! I have four cocker spaniels currently, and I would love to    adopt more dogs. Eventually I would like to rescue a pit bull, a greyhound,   and a dachshund.
