Biography

I am a SCC Alumni (12 years). I teach K-12 Art and am an artist outside of school. Since I was 8 years old and met Mr. Essner in 2nd grade, I knew I wanted to be an art teacher. It's very surreal to sit at the very desk he used at SCC. Mr. Essner was and is, to this day, such an inspiration to me. If not for Mr. Essner and Art, I may have very well dropped out of high school and college would have never happened for me. I am thankful for all he taught me. His patience, encouragement, and influence has made me the art person and teacher I am today. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my love and passion for art with my students. To pass down what was passed to me. It is my hope that I can make at least one student feel what I feel when I create art or am around art.

Keep a check back often and check out the work of my talented artists.
