What led you to teaching?
It’s as simple as a desire to be useful. There is nothing quite like repurposing hard-won lessons from my artistic blunders (and successes) to smooth the way for others.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies include reading fiction, comics, cooking, and trying to keep my succulents alive. Someday I will bake a perfect croissant.
