About

I am an experienced educator and designer with a background in teaching, customer service, and creative design. I am committed to raising student achievement and closing the achievement gap in high-needs schools by applying practical strategies and empathetic teaching.

Currently I work as a self-employed designer, builder, and restorer in New Orleans, and I teach at Kelz Creative Design. I enjoy partnering with clients and students to understand their unique needs, delivering thoughtful, high-quality design solutions.
