I am a proud Jim Ned alumni and this is my fourth year of teaching at Jim Ned High School. I have experience in a variety of professional fields pertaining to art; therefore, I am excited to have the privilege of sharing my passion for art with students in the community I love. 

I believe that art is an expressive outlet that fosters creativity, focus and mindfulness. All students in my classes will experience a balance between specialized techniques and innovative exploration.

As an art teacher, I am committed:

1. To provide students with a learning atmosphere that facilitates creativity and growth. 
2. To motivate, inspire and challenge students.
3. To emphasize and encourage imagination, unique ideas and illumination.
4. To ensure the individual well being of students through fair, respectful and consistent guidance.
5. To pursue continual growth and renewal of my teaching and artistic profession.
