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. Therefore, 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. Art can teach us how to problem solve, self-regulate, engage in flexible thinking, and help us see the beauty in imperfection. We can also help one another through thoughtful ideas and constructive feedback. As one student said, “I never knew I could create something like this!”

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 make accommodations and modifications for students when needed, such as adjusting projects, repeating information, individualized assistance, and moving at different paces. I encourage creativity and flexibility in self-expression. 

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.
