    I counsel and teach to inspire and mentor young minds and hearts to develop their personhood, creativity, style, and their personalities and future aspirations as individuals. As a counselor, I want them to embrace themselves as unique to how they are created and develop in their skills and their own styles. As a visual art instructor, I desire to enable young people to express themselves and to develop their whole person, emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically through creativity and counsel. I work out of worship of God and His beauty.
