I now illustrate for a number of steady clients, including children's book publishers, advertising agencies and institutional clients. After earning two full time teaching cleared credentials at CSU Long Beach, I also discovered I love teaching, and now enjoy giving back to my school, CSUF - serving the next generation of students.
