About Me

I’m a passionate visual artist, educator, and curator based in New York City with a strong commitment to helping students of all ages grow creatively and confidently. I hold a BFA in Art and Design Education from Pratt Institute with a concentration in Painting and a minor in Art History. I’m currently on track for New York State certification in K–12 Art Education and will have a MA in Art and Design Education by June 2026.

My teaching experience includes student teaching in NYC public schools (elementary and high school), working with elementary and middle school students at Pratt’s Saturday Art School, and teaching in a Montessori school in Puerto Rico. I specialize in drawing, painting, mixed media, and portfolio development for high school and college applications.

I believe in meeting students where they are—offering personalized guidance that builds both technical skills and creative voice in a supportive, inclusive environment.
