I started my career as a photojournalist and transitioned to teaching after doing volunteer work and taking a few graduate classes at the University of Buffalo. I quit my job at the paper and completed an accelerated Master’s degree in Art Education at the Rochester Institute of Technology where I also went for my Bachelor’s degree in photography.

I have always gravitated toward subjects that are both technical and creative. I have taught fine art, graphic design photography, and digital art for two decades now. I have taught learners of all ages and abilities. I am ready for new challenges and eager to join an organization to utilize my knowledge of project and content-based instruction to solve organizational needs in training and assessment.
