I am a teacher, painter, and songwriter based in Birmingham, AL. 

 

The first time someone asked me to teach them, I was sixteen. I didn’t plan on becoming a teacher—but ever since then, teaching has followed me wherever I go.

​

It showed up in grad school, when I started teaching English through VIPKID. After that, it led me to the University of Alabama, where I taught Human Development.

​

These days, teaching is still with me—in my studio, in the community, and in the way I work with people creatively.

 

Whether I’m making music, painting, or guiding others through their own creative process, I feel most like myself when I’m helping someone else tap into their ideas. I didn’t chase teaching—but I’ve come to realize it’s part of who I am.

 

In addition to teaching, I sell my paintings and offer a variety of creative services covering everything from basic music lessons to live painting for events. 

​

I also work as a board-certified music therapist in the greater Birmingham community to support well-being in adults with disabilities. 

​

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you!
