I am an art educator, illustrator, and graphic designer currently living in Santiago, Chile. Originally from upstate New York, I moved to New York City to attend design school and to get a taste of the world outside of my hometown. While here, I earned a BFA in Graphic Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a MA in Art Education from New York University.

Wanting to further expand my understanding of the world, I entered the world of international education. I started my career in Shanghai, where I lived for 17 years. I am now happily settled in Santiago where I have been for the past year and a half. 

During my time in Shanghai, I was able to pursue my love of illustration by obtaining a Masters degree in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Since then, I spend my days balancing my time between my two passions- developing contemporary art curriculum and illustration.
