Experience

I am currently a professor at Washington State University in 2-D Design and Portland Community College in Painting and have been working at the college level for 4 years. I have individually mentored graduate students at the Pacific Northwest College of Art during their last year to help them edit their thesis and artistic works. I have worked with students at various learning summer camps from ages 8-15. I have taken advanced classes in writing, philosophy, modern and post-modern thought as well as art specialization. I am constantly self-editing my own writing and applications as well as and editing works of students and fellow colleagues. I love teaching and can't wait to helping students of all levels on an individual basis
