She worked for Bay Area Classical Artist Atelier in San Carlos CA from 2006-2010 modeling, running figure drawing sessions, assisting in marketing, and assisting with workshops taught by guest artists flown in from the East coast and abroad. In 2011 she moved to New York City to study full time with Michael Grimaldi, the anatomist Franc Porcu, and Dan Thompson. While in New York she completed Advanced Art Anatomy through Janus Collaborative, which included study of the cadaver at various levels of dissection. In 2012 she began teaching academic drawing to dedicated art students ages 12-18 at Sadie Valeri Atelier in San Francisco.

Her study of dance informs and inspires her figurative art.
