Students will improve their understanding of ancient fashion design until the Byzantine Era.

I participated in my first fashion show at the age of 12 when I was in 7th grade. Later on, I earned my BPh degree majoring in fashion design and interior decoration. In both disciplines, I was fascinated with the history of art and how it is manifested in the beauty and good taste of clothing and home. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher in special education in 1997 as I was attending UCF (University of Central Florida) in Orlando, FL and earned my MA Degree in various exceptionalities.  During the high school years as a teacher, I organized a fashion design club where members learned to design, sew, and model their creations. The students participated in fashion shows and competed with other school, earning first place in their categories. One of the students was my daughter who to date benefits from the skills she earned during those years.

I enjoy fashion (I have a BA degree majoring in fashion design), history, cooking, reading and teaching the Bible, watching real-life movies, exercising, investigating alternative health methods, interacting with multicultural people, traveling, gardening, reading, interpreting, and writing poetry. I love teaching to people like you! Life is beautiful! I enjoy life with all its details! 

I look forward to working with your learner.
