I am an art teacher, as well as a graphic designer, motion graphic artist, and animator. I received my bachelor's from Emerson College in Visual Media Arts Production, and my masters from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. 

​

I started out as a graphic designer, then fell into animation, then discovered the best of both worlds in motion graphics. I worked as a PA in LA, and have switched to freelance in the last two years.

​

 I discovered that I loved being a teacher when I took a trip to Greece and volunteered in the refugee camps teaching low-tech art lessons. Since then, I've taught video, photography and art at public high schools in San Francisco. 

​

My favorite class that I've taught so far is the CTE Filmmaking course at Galileo High School - I introduced new students to video production and helped experienced students write, direct, film, and edit their own short movies for a local indie film festival. It's amazing to watch how creative students are!
