"Let’s just get the standard bio information out of the way: I graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago and majored in Political Science with a double minor in Philosophy and Gender and Women Studies. My future goals include seeing more of the world and continuing to work with artists.

On a more personal note: I love music, fashion, painting, going to the driving range, and occasionally going rock climbing-especially in Lake Tahoe. 

I knew Expression was something special the minute I walked in the door.  After having worked at the school for a couple of years, I still get that feeling when I walk someone around the campus, and see them experience Expression for the first time. It’s great to be able to hang out here with my friends when they book studio time, and run into my students at 2:00am who are doing the same thing.  It’s also an honor having students finish their fine arts courses and then lending me their work to showcase on my office walls.  I spend so much time here that I often joke that Expression isn’t a college, it’s a lifestyle. I think it’s a gift to be able to have your work satisfy you on a personal level and not just be something you have to do.”
