Artist, Educator & Innovative Thinker
What I'm About
As a visual artist and educator, I approach teaching with a creative thinking mindset—rooted in the principles of a studio environment where experimentation, reflection, and problem-solving are essential. My background in the arts allows me to communicate complex ideas in innovative, accessible ways, fostering a learning space where curiosity thrives and challenges are seen as opportunities for growth.
​
I believe education isn’t just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about helping students discover who they are, what motivates them, and how they can make sense of the world around them. My teaching philosophy is grounded in building authentic relationships with students, creating a supportive environment where they feel seen, heard, and valued. This approach not only strengthens engagement but also cultivates the confidence students need to take intellectual risks and explore new ideas.
​
In my classroom, learning is dynamic and student-driven. I design experiences that encourage inquiry, critical thinking, and real-world application. Whether through project-based learning, creative problem-solving activities, or reflective discussions, I aim to equip students with the skills to become lifelong learners—capable of thinking deeply, questioning thoughtfully, and applying their knowledge in meaningful ways.
​
I view education as a superpower—one that empowers students to shape their own futures and become the heroes of their own stories. My goal is to inspire not just academic growth, but personal development, helping students build the resilience, curiosity, and critical thinking skills they need to navigate an ever-changing world with purpose and passion.
