Biography:

I was home schooled throughout my life until High school. In my home school days, i could study on my own, and so i because a self taught young entomologist. I was always greatly interested in comics, cartoons and games, and through that i started to become a young artist, not only drawing all of my favorite cartoon and game characters, but also all of my favorite bugs and spiders.
I eventually went to the Orange County High School of the Arts, and studied art and graphic design. Now, 3 years in college, and getting married, i'm harkening back to my passion for entomology, taking classes to possibly take it a major at UCR.
Teaching youth is also another passion of mine, and I will also be studying to teach entomology and art at an elementary level.
