I began my career teaching elementary visual arts. This set me on a path to researching creativity in education, and fostered my own creativity as a role-model for my students.

The Cutest Face (pictured right) is a children's book I wrote and illustrated, based on my experience teaching in a multicultural classroom. It features 18 of my painted oil portraits. The book won the 2011 Arts and Culture award from the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario.
