About

A passionate art educator, comic artist and voice actress based in the United States. I love guiding K-8 students through the fundamentals of art using a wide range of media and techniques to cultivate creativity, precision, and confidence.

In addition to teaching, I travel, illustrate and voice act on the side. Currently finishing a children’s book and starting a webcomic in Sydney. I enjoy helping with background art and 2 Dimensional side projects.
