I have always been interested in art for as long as I can remember. During my elementary school years, I attended the Young Artist Studio at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I continued attending the Young Artist Studio through my high school years, and then received my BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  I also have experience teaching art at the junior high and high school level. I am currently teaching grades one through five art at Avoca West and I am also teaching a before school Art Club, which I offer to every grade level. I am looking forward to a creative and productive school year!
