Do you have a favorite subject
matter—or lesson—that you teach?
I love typography…just ask my students.
Typography is what attracted me to the field of graphic design. Good typography is a transformative communications tool as it embeds deeper meaning to the written content.
What is your go-to advice for Cabrini
students?
School is what you make of it. This is your
opportunity to try new things and overcome your fears.
What is your favorite quote and why?
“Dreams don’t work unless you do.”—John C. Maxwell
