My Name is Julie Faro, I am an artist, teacher, and mother. My family has lived in North Andover for five generations and I continue to live in town with my husband, our four children, and our two dogs. I have a BA in Fine Art and Graphic Design from Merrimack College and completed my Teacher's Licensure Program through Fitchburg State College. I currently hold a Massachusetts teacher's license in Visual Arts. After graduating from Merrimack I worked as a graphic designer for two years before pursuing a career in education. I have worked as a special education tutor for Amesbury Middle School and a Child Care Counselor at Saint Ann's Home and School in Methuen.
