A fine arts educator with a Master of Fine Arts degree, I have been teaching at the university and community college levels for over fifteen years, offering courses ranging from drawing, painting, and color theory to 3D design, sculpture, art history, and printmaking. My teaching emphasizes foundational skill development, creative exploration, and critical engagement across media. Beyond the classroom, I served as Education Director at a craft center, where I managed studio operations, developed educational programming, recruited instructors, and oversaw marketing and social media. This administrative experience deepened my understanding of arts education at an institutional level. I have also held a Visiting Assistant Professor position, further broadening my academic teaching experience. My approach integrates studio practice with historical awareness, fostering both technical proficiency and conceptual growth in students.
