With over five years shaping minds at Aldine ISD and a parallel 12-year tenure as a freelance artist and illustrator, my dual careers intertwine the disciplines of education and visual storytelling. My skill set is broad, encompassing K-12 educational strategies and a mastery of both digital and traditional art tools, including proficiency in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and hand-rendering techniques using traditional media.The classroom and the canvas are my arenas for impact. Our team at Aldine ISD empowers students through knowledge, while as a freelancer, I bring narratives to life with my illustrations. Communication and freelancing skills underpin my commitment to fostering creativity and learning, whether I'm developing engaging lesson plans or crafting dynamic characters and stories.
