Teaching Work
After a decade in the entertainment industry, I gained invaluable hands-on experience that continues to shape how I teach today. Since moving to the DMV area, I’ve taught sewing at Stitch Sew Shop and led private lessons, intensives, and studio sessions for students of all levels.
​
What began as seasonal work quickly grew into a passion—especially mentoring high school seniors on college portfolios. Many came for help with sewing, but stayed for guidance on layout, presentation, and drawing. That demand inspired a new path: one-on-one mentorship for students pursuing creative and academic goals.

Whether I’m teaching a curious beginner, a high school senior building their portfolio, or an adult returning to a long-lost creative practice—I love helping students discover the power of sewing.
