Art making is a part of my daily existence and always has been. Both of my grandparents were artists and the smell of oil paint from my grandfather’s studio still lingers in my mind. I have spent the majority of my career as an artist educator and am currently teaching at Roberto Clemente Charter School in Allentown, PA. Prior to my position at RCCS, I spent four years developing the arts department and program at Brownsville Academy High School in Brooklyn, NY where I received the “Teacher Of The Year Award” and the “New York State Assembly Award For Teacher Excellence.” I earned a Bachelor’s degree in art education from Kutztown University in 2002 and a master’s degree in art education from Brooklyn College in 2009.
