About Frances

I'm a creative professional with a background in interior design, creative writing, and visual arts. I originally studied English at Old Dominion University and worked as a reading specialist with Virginia Beach City Public Schools. I also served as an Inclusion Specialist for the City of Virginia Beach, supporting children of all abilities in recreational and educational settings. I create fun, hands-on art and language arts lessons that build skills, spark imagination, and encourage self-expression. My approach blends patience, creativity, and tailored support to help each child succeed.
