I am a graduate from the University of California,

Santa Cruz with a bachelor’s degree in Art. I have

experience working with a diversity of children,

from different cultures, economic backgrounds, and

learning abilities.

As an undergraduate I spent time working with economically disadvantaged children in a program called “DrawBridge.” Aside from helping children express themselves through art, I was a mentor and role model. I am happy to be a part of the CASA program which has a strong arts curriculum, which plays a vital role in a child’s education.

I am a Chicano artist who combines photography and painting. Aside from making art, I love to hang out with the cool kids of CASA - whether it be playing jump rope or just being silly, it’s always a good time at CASA.
