I possess a strong vision for my goal to become a an art educator, which has been impacted by my previous experiences and commitment in the arts through textile design, fine art, fashion design, and teaching. This interest in the arts was fostered throughout my education at the Langley Fine Arts School, and my BFA degree from all-women’s college Moore College of Art and Design. In my degree, I majored in fine art with minors in textile design and art history.
