Welcome back! I am in my 18th year as a high school teacher and am excited to be in my seventh year in Plano ISD at Plano Senior High School. It's going to be a terrific year! I'm looking forward to sharing "Funky Fridays" and the love of a mess in the pursuit of artistic expression with my students - live and in-person; and, seeing their individual and collective growth in confidence, creativity, and craft.

After graduating from high school in Arlington, I earned my BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'Em Horns!) and later my AA in Animation and Multi-Media from The Art Insitute of Dallas. I worked for several years as a web designer and graphic artist outside of Washington DC and in Dallas before coming to my senses and becoming an art teacher.

I am currently teaching Art I:3D Design and Sculpture, Art II:2D Design, and Art III. This year I will also Co-Sponsor our campus' chapter of the National Art Honor Society.
