Where did you work prior to coming here?

I’ve been in a lot of places. I was in District 214 for six years right out of undergrad…, I left teaching high school .. Recently I’ve been coming back into teaching high school. I’ve done some temporary assignments at Lane Tech and the York High School in the suburbs.

Is there something new that you want to bring to school?

I don’t know if it’s new per se — I know classes have done installation-based work — but I’m really interested in being able to do something of some art installations that are temporary within this new building if allowed, so I don’t know the logistics of that yet, but I’d like to explore that further.

What’s something interesting about you?

A lot of things! I’ve recently been very passionate about rock climbing. I’ve only been outside in California a few times this summer, but I climb indoors in Chicago in a gym.
