This is my first year at Westside and my third year of teaching art. I graduated from USC Columbia with a BFA in Art Education. I love art because it forces us to think creatively and solve problems, and that's something everyone needs to know how to do in the "real world."

My favorite artists include Egon Schiele, Frida Kahlo, and anyone who has ever contributed to the memes of Barack Obama riding a unicorn.
