Teaching Philosophy: <\/strong>I\u2019ve always believed if you have been given the \u201cartistic gene\u201d then it is essential to yourself and your world that you create and cultivate that gift as much as possible. That\u2019s why FIT has been a sanctuary for many of us as students and professors. The decorative arts, fashion, architecture, and fine arts have been one of the cornerstones of our culture since civilizations began. I impress upon my students the importance of design and how it makes us who we are.\u00a0 Many creative skills can be developed with the guidance of dedicated professors and a continuous pursuit. I believe highly in exploring the artistic process for that\u2019s when the best results are achieved.<\/p>\n

On Precollege Programs: <\/strong>FIT\u2019s precollege programs have been one of the highlights of my teaching career.\u00a0 I\u2019m so happy to be teaching my Bachelor Degree Textile\/Fabric styling courses and see students who had gone through the precollege programs, planned and acquired their associates and then see them in my classes. Yes, they are usually the best students!\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing to get the training and exposure in the high school years from the FIT faculty because you develop your skillset as well as your confidence early on.<\/p>\n
