When I first fell in love with art, I too was in middle school. I loved drawing, painting, sculpting, really anything that allowed me to get messy! My love has only grown over the years, and I love that I get to share that with my students.
I attended Columbia College in Chicago where I received my Bachelors Degree in Fine Art. I then went on to National Louis University where I received my Masters of Arts in Teaching. I have been teaching for 11 years now, the last 7 at River Trails. These have by far been the best years!

When I can, I love working on my own art! But, I am usually very busy with my daughter Frankie, and son Axel. That is my daughter Frankie in the picture to the right, when she was a baby! I think overall my favorite thing is just enjoying time with my family!
