-Nominated by contemporary artist Paul McCarthy for the Lilian Levinson Foundation -Scholarship in 1995 (UCLA’s most prestigious art award for undergraduate students)
-Robert Lee Adams Art Scholar 1995.

I have shown artwork at Metroform Gallery in Tucson, AZ, received "Best of Show" for a Contemporary Painting show in Boston, and have shown with an artist collective in Tucson as a benefit for RAWA (Revolutionary Association for Women of Afghanistan).
I have taught art in various elementary schools and non-profits.
