I am a photographer and, most importantly, a mother raising three future founders. I have always believed that children are naturally creative, seeing the world with a sense of wonder that adults often miss.

 However, as I watched my own three children explore their interests, I realized that imagination alone isn't enough—students need the technical tools to turn that "spark" into a lifelong, tangible skill.

I am the kind of educator who constantly ties core academic subjects into everyday life. Whether we are in the field or at the kitchen table, I am always looking for ways to explain complex "grown-up" concepts—like optical physics, manual mechanics, and visual rhetoric—in a way that resonates with a young creator.

Restoring the Creative Trade

I started The Olive Seed Studio because I believe every child should master a specialized technical art. While society often overlooks the "creative trades," I see them as the ultimate training ground for collaborative problem-solving and leadership.

I am IVP Fingerprint Cleared and dedicated to providing a high-standard, safe, and professional learning environment for every student.
