Seven Interesting Facts:

1. Before I was an art teacher I was: a kindergarten teacher for four years, an editorial assistant, gourmet coffee expert, legal assistant, art gallery manager, custom picture framer, an employee in a travel agency, and a baker's assistant. 

2. My father was a national broadcast journalist for NBC in the 1960's and met JFK, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King, Jr., LBJ, and many of the first astronauts in space.

3. I went to a special high school in Houston called The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA). My area of specialty was, of course, visual art. I spent three hours every day working in the studio. It was fantastic!

4. I used to own two iguanas named Pickles and Tito. 

5. A major staple of my diet is Tex-Mex. Good thing I'm a native Texan!

6. I recently became an aunt for the first time to my wonderful sweet little nephew Xander. 

7. I have traveled all over Europe and got to see many of the major works in art history in person. My favorite museums by far were in Italy, particularly the Uffizi Gallery and Medici Mansion in Florence, Italy. The Louvre was a close second.
