An art educator and museum educator with dual master’s degrees from New York University and Columbia College Chicago, I have taught color theory, 2D design, and book arts at both the college level and within museum settings. My teaching integrates historical foundations—such as the work of Josef Albers and Johannes Itten—with hands-on creative practice and critical dialogue. I have developed curriculum aligned with university standards and scaffolded skill-building assignments, and I curate student work for gallery exhibitions. At The Morgan Library & Museum, I engage students with medieval illuminated manuscripts, pigments, and art historical contexts. My background includes painting conservation, admissions portfolio review, and independent curatorial work. I am committed to fostering visual literacy, historical awareness, and creative growth across diverse learner populations.
