I attended the North East School of the Arts (NESA) and graduated magna cum laude with a BFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then, I've worked as a freelance artist and illustrator with accolades from the Society of Illustrators and the American Advertising Federation. I have two published children’s books and co-manage a gallery with a group of fellow artists at downtown Blue Star Arts Complex every First Friday. When I’m not making art, I enjoy hiking outdoors with my girlfriend, watching movies, cooking, and exploring other creative outlets.

My passion for the visual arts and education has led me to my 5th year of teaching here at Tejeda, and I am both proud and honored for the opportunity to share that with the students and parents of our community. As a visual arts instructor, it is my goal to help encourage your child to succeed and discover their artistic potential. I believe the visual arts are vital to academia as it is not only a way to discover inner creativity, but is also a means of leisure and stress-relief, connection with self and community, and the development of lifelong problem-solving skills. In life, we never stop being students, and that love for learning is something I endeavor to teach others.
