I am very happy to be joining the Cedar Hill Prep community! I have my BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. I studied visual arts, with emphasis on painting and graphic design. After school, I spent some time in the design industry where I made and crafted photo-books. I also spent time instructing painting classes. Teaching has been very rewarding for me. I am very excited to be a part of a team of parents, students, teachers, and staff that make up Cedar Hill Prep!
