Growing up with a profound love for art, I pursued my passion at the University of Hartford's illustration program. I dedicated myself to my craft, maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout my college career and graduating on both the Dean's List and President's List.

My professional journey has always been intertwined with a love for working with children. During the summers of my college years, I taught art at my local recreation department's Kindercamp. Additionally, I have had the privilege of nannying for five different families, where I shared my skills in drawing, painting, and sculpting with the children in my care.

These rich experiences working directly with children have deeply influenced my artistic perspective, leading me to specialize in creating illustrations that speak directly to the hearts and imaginations of young readers.
