Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, I came to Western New York as a freshman architecture student at the University of Buffalo. I hold an undergraduate degree in Design, NYS Certification in Art Education, and a Master's degree in Education from Buffalo State College.  Additionally, I am trained and certified in Educational Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University specializing in the cognitive and creative development of children and the innovative brain.  

I love to travel and explore all aspects of culture.  I photo-document most of my adventures on a variety of blogs.
