Hey! I am a freelance illustrator transitioning from a 15-year career as an elementary and early childhood teacher, with 11 of those years dedicated specifically to early childhood education (ages 4 to 6). Throughout my teaching journey, I used illustration as an essential tool to make complex concepts accessible and engage both students and colleagues. This experience gave me a unique perspective on visual storytelling and the ability to communicate ideas in an engaging and clear way. In 2019, I decided to turn my passion for art into a profession, focusing on digital illustration, visual storytelling, and concept art. Here's my work, if you want to check it out! :)
