What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to combine my passion for education and art while fostering creativity and growth in a supportive environment.

As a dedicated homeschooling educator at Duree Academy since 2010, I have developed comprehensive curricula and schedules for grades P-12, demonstrating my ability to adapt and organize in a dynamic learning environment. My experience managing household responsibilities alongside my educational role has honed my multitasking and coordination skills, allowing me to build meaningful relationships with students and families alike.

In addition to my educational pursuits, I am an accomplished artist and illustrator, having showcased my work in various mediums and published a children's book in 2023. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish EIMAArt Tools, where I design and market art supplies. I also enjoy teaching art classes and have a passion for sharing my knowledge with others, as evidenced by my role as an online class instructor for book publishing.
