I am a nationally registered and board certified Art Therapist and past President of the Florida Art Therapy Association. I am also involved in the Vero Beach Museum's Artist in the Schools program, and have been consulting with St. Edward's Lower School piloting a program for Creative Expression.

Along with conducting workshops on topics such as Art Therapy, Creative Expression and Emotional Intelligence over the years, I have also owned and operated an art gallery, authored a children's book on understanding feelings, entitled "Go With The Flo", served as an adjunct professor at Nova University, directed the special education program on the Seminole Indian Reservation, and was the State Coordinator for the Kennedy Foundation on Arts for the Handicapped.
