About
I am an art instructor and an artist with over two decades of experience teaching in classrooms and studios. I am also a content creator and communication counselor. I help students develop their artistic visual language through painting and drawing to find their inner artists. Additionally, I assist them in developing their communication skills, whether it is through visual content creation or, more importantly, through social and interpersonal interaction.

What is the one piece of career advice you wish someone gave you when you were younger?
-Pursue your passion, even if it is not the easiest choice. -keep up with the new advances and technology related to what you do. -Keep studying and keep learning; there is never too much information when it comes to what you do. -Don't be embarrassed by making a mistake; don't fear failing, but fear not moving on from it and not improving. -manage your time correctly and effectively. -Always find inspirations to motivate yourself.
What is it like when your job gets tough?
Challenging situations can get very frustrating and stressful, especially when there is a deadline. It might even seem like a lost cause already. But over the years, I have learned not to pay attention to that negative, discouraging voice that tells me maybe I should quit, there is no way, and perhaps it was too much for me; maybe I should drop the towel already. Instead, I start to plan step-by-step; I break the task down into many small and manageable ones and get to do it without losing focus. It works just fine.
