Professional info
I have 25 years in education at the secondary level. I am a retired high school teacher. My sense of vision and creativity are what motivate me as an artist. I held leadership positions as lead web design and desktop publishing instructor, School Leadership Team member and on college advisory boards. I have the ability to problem solve and I'm confident my creative skills are at a level prospective clients demand.
