​

The last 15 years I have been involved in Arts Education in many different capacities.  From teaching in a public high school, volunteering with Free Arts of Arizona, to working in children's museums.  Currently  I am interested in pursuing opportunities in new, creative fields.  I would love to utilize my artistic expression and creativity working in an environment that embraces collaboration, team building, and new approaches to the creative process.  My experience includes developing programs, maintaining positive human relationships, creating museum experiences that include play based, art enriched programs, mentoring teens in a residential treatment center, and combining interdisciplinary teaching strategies and standard based lesson planning to be a highly effective educator. In addition, I have also been involved in the food service industry. Being part of highly stressful, fast pace cafe's, restaurants, and bars, requiring me to make quick, effective decisions.  I have the ability to multi task, juggling many projects, and accomplish goals on a deadline.
