As an educator, my intention is to create a space where ideas flow freely and creativity thrives. My teaching blends multiple disciplines in visual art, music, and problem-solving to make learning engaging, accessible, and meaningful for every student.
I believe assessment should go beyond standards and grades. True learning happens when students can grow as curious, resilient, and independent thinkers unafraid of uncertainty. My goal is to guide them toward creative confidence and a deeper empathetic understanding of themselves and others.
Teaching art means nurturing and engaging the human spirit at its roots. With language we learn to speak, to listen, to read, and to write. Art gives form and access to our emotional truth and our foundational connection to the world around us.
