I was born and raised in Brazil, but I have been living in the USA for almost 20 years and have been teaching art for over 10 years now. I have 4 children, 3 of them are attending Lincoln right now, and 1 is a senior is HS. 

I love teaching art; it is one of the best things in my life, and I am fortunate enough to have made it my career. 

Besides teaching art, I enjoy building things, cooking, traveling, and watching TV.
