Throughout the past 12+ years I have developed and taught original curriculum for multiple visual arts programs that meet in-person and virtually. I designed these programs to be inclusive of students of all abilities, full of exciting and creative exploratory projects and rigorous coursework aligned to the National Visual Art Standards. 

My Work Based Learning partnerships match students with professionals in a career field they are interested in exploring. Each year I provide students with job-shadowing opportunities and paid internships with professionals both in person and virtually.

I continue to create and mentor student programs such as Mural Arts to build connections between my students and their local community.
