I am an artist and art educator based on Long Island, NY.

I come from an international background having lived in Korea, India, U.S., Turkey, and traveled to many more countries around the world. Diverse cultural experiences are the core of my creative energy.

I am a compassionate teacher that is dedicated to student success and committed to creating a positive, inclusive, and inspiring atmosphere for all students. My goal is to help students gain creative skills that will enrich and elevate their lives.
