She has a M.A. in Art Education from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her work in film and video has garnered awards at international film festivals. Her favorite way to spend her time is creating art, surfing, reading, and exploring the city she lives in.

She believes an educator’s role is to recognize and implement the reserve of knowledge that youth obtain from their cultural backgrounds and diverse experiences. She views these as pathways to life-long learning and an intellectual resource, and as a result, is committed to offering students an inclusive, equitable, and culturally relevant education.
