For more than 25 years, I have had the pleasure of working as a teacher and mentor in partnership with various organizations in the Twin Cities: AchieveMPLS, Lyndale Neighborhood Organization, East Side Arts Council, Minnesota State Arts Board, St. Paul Public Libraries, St. Paul Public School District, and more.

I have instructed visual and fiber arts classes for learners of all ages. I have provided job training for aspiring young fashion designers, providing opportunity through each stage from ideation, production, and various aspects of retail including display, branding, marketing and sales.
