After high school I attended Moore College of Art and Design where I received a Bachelors in Fine Art and was also certified to teach Art K through 12. I worked for the Opera Company of Philadelphia in the Wig and Makeup Department for 20 years. I worked in Delaware as an Art teacher in an alternative Special Education school and have also substituted in Delaware County including Penncrest.

I volunteer as an exterior Firefighter for Rose Tree Fire Company, The American Red Cross Blood Drives and The Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County.
