I am an artist and a Fine Arts Teacher (K-8.) I enjoy working with and being an advocate for at-risk youth and youth with special needs. I inspire youth and young adults to give themselves permission to be themselves through my artwork and personality while teaching them to have healthy creative releases and to problem solve in ways that are creative, mindful, responsible, respectful, inclusive, healing, and restorative so that they are loving and kind to each other and themselves while appreciating their beauty and differences. I have a dynamic background working with at-risk and youth with special needs in roles including Play Ground Supervisor, Dean of Students/Restorative Justice Facilitator, Emergency Teacher Assistant, Education Paraprofessional, Substitute Teacher, Aftercare Counselor, and Summer Camp Counselor. If that weren't enough I am a recovering attorney that is Way Too Creative For Law.

    Matthew is a very compassionate and loving person that has a heart for individuals with a disability. He is eager to learn and assist in anyway he can. I am very grateful for his assistance in helping my son with his day to day care. His brings art and a creative style to caring for him. We feel blessed to have him in our home.
