I taught art to elementary, middle, and high school students at a south Dallas public charter school.I created engaging art lessons for student mastery. Most of my lessons were of my own invention, and I drew on my expertise in art history and contemporary art to make my lessons relevant for students.I used Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office daily to help prepare visual aides for instruction. I taught basic skills in Photoshop and Illustrator as part of my fine art curriculum.I also worked with the district's marketing director, assisting with design and evaluation of marketing materials.

I designed a course that linked discussions in the galleries with a drawing, design, and painting project in the classroom.I led long group conversations in the galleries each week, using original strategies to ensure the participation of each student.I worked with students as a group and individually to guide them through the execution of their class projects.

I was part of a core team of artists that ran the studio of a busy art glass business.I performed every step of the production process, including meeting with clients, creating concept sketches and proposals, ordering all supplies, preparing the artwork, and painting and installing the finished art glass.I led the painting department, developing techniques that improved quality and efficiency.And, I trained and mentored new hires in all of the above areas.
