I received my BFA from Arizona State University (go Sundevils!) in Fine Arts and a post-bac in education. I began working for Deer Valley Unified School District in 2001. I currently teach 2D visual arts classes at Mountain Ridge High School which include Art 1-2 , 3-4 5-6 and, AP Studio Art, 2D Portfolio. I also teach Drawing and Photography & Design with Aspire Online. Watercolor, drawing, and photography are my favorite art media , and I previously had careers in photography and visual merchandising.
