International "Teacher of the Year" for three consecutive years. She is named the I AM H.E.R. International "S.T.E.A.M.

She loves what she does and always seek to improve her practice to maintain student interest, engagement, and learning.  Her professional goal is to educate today's generation of students and hopefully, other communities, to see how art serves many essential purposes in society.

Aside from her work with students in visual arts, she engages students with musical interests through teaching and playing songs on the piano to create a dynamic experience for them at school.
