I have expressed my ideas through the visual arts for most of my life. I have been an art educator for many years, teaching drawing, painting, and photography to students in preschool through twelfth grades, including various summer and after-school programs.

 

​Over the last two decades, I have also worked intermittently in Bosnia-Hercegovina, and co-founded “From the Bay to the Balkans,” a summer service-learning program based in Sarajevo. Art, sports, and cooperative games were key components of the program that encouraged inclusivity, connectivity, and conflict study. 

 

More recently, I returned to graduate school to pursue a degree in Art Therapy. I believe all humans should have opportunities to express themselves through art-making, whether that is for personal growth, creative expression, or to foster emotional resilience and healing.  ​​

I currently live and work as an art therapist in the Bay Area.​
