Currently:

Adjunct Professor at Johnson & Wales University in the Graphic Design & Digital Media Department. I teach a wide-range of courses to undergraduate students, including: Foundation Drawing for Graphic Designers; Digital Media Perspectives; Principles of Visualization; Imaging for Digital Media; and Print Design. I have been an instructor at JWU for almost 3 years while simultaneously working towards my Masters in Graphic Design. While I thoroughly enjoy teaching, it is my goal to eventually work for a prominent museum or graphics firm that designs on multiple scales, from print to digital to spatial and experiential.

In my spare time, I like hiking with my husband and dogs, reading historical fiction, tracking down unique eateries, visiting museums, and enjoying good company.
