CREATIVE HISTORY:
During my final year of attaining a Masters degree, I was offered the Art Education position for a private school. For 8 years I taught students technique and appreciation for the visual arts in Pre-K through 8th grade.
A student asked me to "tutor" her over the summer which lead me to teach privately in students' homes after school hours. Through word of mouth, I taught over 10 students weekly including adults. When my husband and I decided to start a family, I made the decision to stay home with my son when he was born. Although teaching has been my passion, I am blessed to have a skill that will allow my creativity to grow as I raise my son from home.
MY FAMILY:
I am blessed to be the mother of my beautiful baby boy and wife of my amazing and supportive husband. I have a husky-poo named, Sebago.
