In a six week long graduate program through UMBC, I studied Mexican Arts and Culture in an Intercultural Perspective in Mexico. I developed a unit inspired by Mexican prints to educate students about this rich and colorful nation, address current political and social issues, and break down stereotypes about Mexican culture. I presented this experience at the MAEA State Conference in 2010.

Those who can, Teach. Because I believe it is important to model good artist behavior, I am a practicing artist, constantly creating work and exhibiting. I share my work and experiences with students.
