I’m born & raised in Chicago. I’m the youngest of 4. I’m also in my early 30s even though I don’t look it. I’ve been educating since 2019. I absolutely love teaching. I’m very detail oriented & very hands-on. I attended the Illinois Institute of Art, studying Illustration and Design. I can draw, paint, sketch, create logos, websites, flyers and more. Most importantly, I vow to love the child first & educate them second.
