QUALIFICATIONS;

My teaching background is full of many diverse teaching experiences, with children of all ages. I have a love for teaching and have experience as a mother, with a daughter now seventeen. I am playful, energized, responsible and focused. With the determination and passion, I finished my undergraduate and graduate degrees in the last six years, while raising a daughter and working my own business. My focus is the arts and in sharing my knowledge for future generations to build from.
