With a PhD in Art Education from Florida State University and over a decade of museum experience, I bring both academic rigor and real-world art knowledge to my tutoring. My educational background combines advanced research training with specialized expertise in making art concepts accessible to diverse learners. I've worked extensively at the Philbrook Museum of Art, where I gained hands-on experience with art handling, exhibition preparation, and public education programs that taught me how to communicate complex art historical concepts to audiences of all ages. My teaching experience spans from K-8 students in alternative education settings to university-level instruction as an adjunct professor. I've developed and taught art curriculum for homeschool programs, led after-school art education initiatives, and provided one-on-one instruction in both studio practice and art theory. This diverse teaching background has taught me to adapt my approach to each student's learning style, whether they're struggling with AP Art History concepts, need help with visual analysis assignments, or want to develop a deeper appreciation for art movements and cultural contexts. My tutoring method focuses on making art history engaging and relevant by connecting historical artworks to contemporary culture and helping students develop critical thinking skills through visual analysis. I emphasize understanding the "why" behind artistic movements rather than just memorizing dates and names. Whether working with high school students preparing for AP exams or college students writing research papers, I create a supportive environment where students feel confident exploring complex art historical concepts and developing their own analytical voice.
