I'm an enthusiastic creative, who is passionate about the arts, people and learning. From a very young age I've always been drawn to art and colorful atmospheres. This attraction lead me down the path of photography, videography and sketch art. Art has been my sustenance during my journey and has lead me to so many beautiful and interesting people and experiences. Eventually my journey brought me to teaching English. A great way to combine my passion for people and the arts, by creating and engaging in fun filled and eye opening conversations with the students I've had the honor of meeting. I have plenty of experience teaching people of all ages and walks of life. I've taught online, offline, one-on-one and group classes. Also, I have incorporated my love for film and voice acting into my classes. I provide accent coaching too!

I am a professional photo-retoucher and photographer with expertise in various fields such as compositing, weddings, portraits, fashion, corporate, babies, product, architecture, food, portraits, family photos and logo designs. I believe my combined skills of retouching and photography sets me apart as I have knowledge of both fields and how they complement each other. I am happy to work on any project no matter how small or intricate. Having worked as an in-house retoucher/photographer in a commercial photography studio for the past ten years, I am accustomed to deadlines and delivering fast and accurate results. Background: I got my B-tech degree in photography in 2008. My career started as an assistant in various photographic studios for both photographers and stylists. I then worked as a photographer at a portrait studio for two years and has since 2010 been working as an in-house retoucher/ photographer in a commercial photography studio. My skills include but are not limited to: Photo manipulation: Transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques. This can include adding/removing items and extending/replacing backgrounds. Compositing: Combining elements from separate sources into single images.
