After graduating from Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia, I packed up my dreams and spent more than 4 years earning my degree in Art Education and Photography from VCU. My freshman roommate is still a creative inspiration and loyal friend! Graduate coursework while I lived in Philly included some excellent classes at the University of the Arts. After submitting a lot of paperwork, now, I’m a level II-certified K-12 teacher in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
