I was always hard-working and passionate about my craft. But I was often saddened by those around me that didn't love their work and therefore only cared to do the minimum. I felt so fortunate that I realized early in life that being creative was not just a calling but as necessary as breathing. I have so much creative energy that it's impossible for me to not be a candle that lights another. My goal is to inspire you to realize that you CAN monetize your creative talents and have a dream career.

I have studied academically up to the graduate level. I have worked as an employee on pioneering projects such as part of the original team that built CNN.com as well as practiced the creative business as an entrepreneur freelancing. In my spare time, I explore the three pathways to creative expression via design, arts and crafts, and the fine arts of painting and drawing because I am curious.

Through these experiences I have come to realize where education is lacking, where business fails, and where mindset sabotages and deceives. I could sit around and criticize or I could try to make a difference. This is why I began to instruct with the promise that I would go beyond what traditional curriculums include. I will bring the perspectives of practical business, the soft skill of customer service and relationships, and the hard skills of using modern technologies that has touched most aspects of any creative process.
