As an undergraduate of Simmons College, Boston, and a graduate student of Boston College and beyond, I have directed much of my attention to advancing creative curriculum and methods of instruction in schools. It was an honor to be invited to some of the more than fifty-one countries involved in advancing a philosophy for children's programs to speak about and train teachers in this special method . Preceding my scholarly endeavors I enjoyed designing and manufacturing handbags and accessories, curating art exhibitions, and writing editing and translating foreign language artist’s text for publication. I also studied sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts School, Boston and watercolor privately with an inspiring teacher, Alexi Neyman. In 2017 I moved to Naples, Florida and re-focused my attention once again to my true passion, creating art. I began doing outreach for NAI and have enjoyed engaging students of all ages and abilities to express joy through creating art. I remain privileged to share this truly rewarding experience.
