Welcome!  If you are looking for a friendly, kind, patient, and interactive teacher for your children, you have come to the right place.  I'm so excited you are here!  I am looking forward to engaging with your children and teaching digital art.

I have been a school psychologist in various school settings since 2013.  As a school psychologist, I evaluate cognitive, academic, social/emotional and behavioral strengths and needs of children in order to help them learn. So, I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent students. I graduated from Temple University with an Educational Specialist Degree (Masters+45 Credits) in School Psychology, and I attended Penn State University for my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a Business focus.  While in college, I took numerous art education courses. I have led various social/emotional groups for children in schools, and I have also taught art and drama classes at a summer camp.  I am passionate about working with children and families.  I am creative and art has been a hobby of mine growing up.  I have experience with numerous art mediums, and I have worked with preschool through twelfth grade students. I believe in the power of using art to gain social-emotional skills. 

I value getting to know all students I work with, learning names, and ensuring that all students are happy and engaged.  I believe all students can learn, and I am very inclusive and loving towards all students I work with.

I have an eleven-year-old lab/terrier mix pup who I love, and she may make a personal introduction during our sessions!  I enjoy exploring countries and learning about different cultures; I have been to Israel, Greece, Canada, and Mexico, and I lived in Michigan before moving to Pennsylvania.  Can't wait to work with you and your children!

Please message me about any classes you are interested in and we can find a time to do them. I go back to my full time job after Labor Day but would love to provide classes after 5pm EST or on the weekends! I will also have some scheduled on the weekends! Looking forward to hearing from you!

I do not want cost to be a barrier to taking any of my classes if you are interested in them, so please reach out and we can arrange an affordable cost. =) 

I was honored to be featured on Outschool's 2021 "E.P.I.C." blog as a "Passion Driven Educator". I am also an ACE educator on Outschool as I completed various professional development workshops to further my knowledge about working with diverse learners.
