I went to the University of San Francisco and received a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design. I furthered my love for technology by also adding a minor in Computer Science while at USF. I have had many internships and jobs in the digital art field including tutoring other graphics students, designing and taking photos for a fashion company in LA, and doing marketing design for entertainment companies also in Los Angeles. After working for a few years, I decided to follow my dream of becoming a high school teacher. I LOVE comic books, movies, collectible figures, and scuba diving in my free time when I'm not lesson planning or grading!

I currently teach at Orange High School in Orange, California. I am responsible for Art of Graphic Design, Graphic Design II, Spyder Lab, and I co-teach Yearbook with our Marketing and Business CTE Teacher. So far, I am loving teaching my digital art classes! The students are so hardworking as we build new skills and reintroduce old habits to create successful students and artists. The talent and work ethic in the students in my classes inspires me to push them to do more and go beyond what they think they can accomplish.
