I have been teaching in Catholic schools for 24 years. This is my 12th year at GCC and I really enjoy teaching high school students here. Because of the smaller school, I get to know my students better and often their families too. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge of how to create art and how look at the world differently, through the eye of an artist/photographer.

As an educator in the Visual and Performing Arts Department at Greensburg Central Catholic High School my goal is to provide opportunities for students to grow creatively, to prepare for the challenges of tomorrow, and to develop a lifelong appreciation for the arts. I encourage students to take risks with ideas, to overcome obstacles with courage and to create with imagination.
