“I just found out that the school I've been teaching for since graduation 2008 wants to hire me full time. I have joined classmates Mike Massengale, Class of 2008, and Sylvia Shapiro, Class of 2008, as full time faculty at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Online Division. A nice way to start the school year!! Thank you again for your help and encouragement, and the HAS MFA in Illustration for making it all possible.”
