“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

My passion for teaching started early, inspired by my mother, a dedicated third-grade teacher. Helping her decorate, grade, and prep lessons gave me a glimpse of the dedication education demands.
My journey began at BYU Idaho, where I earned an associate's degree in art. I continued at Cal State Fullerton, achieving an MFA in graphic design, which led to a role as Creative Director for DVDs International at Sony Pictures. Later, I pursued a master's in Architecture at SCI-Arc, practicing architecture for several years.
A mentor's passing shifted my path, and during the pandemic, I explored substitute teaching. I taught a variety of subjects—from art and pottery to English and career guidance—and discovered my passion for inspiring students through art and multimedia.
Now, I’m ready to embark on a teaching career, driven by the joy of sparking creativity and appreciation for the arts in young minds.
