As an art educator, I believe every student is inherently creative, and my role is to provide a supportive, inclusive space where they feel confident exploring ideas, taking risks, and discovering their artistic voice. I emphasize the process of making as much as the final outcome, encouraging experimentation, reflection, and the ability to see mistakes as opportunities for growth.

​

I strive to make art meaningful by connecting it to students’ lives, cultures, identities, and the world around them. Through a balance of structure and creative freedom, I guide students in developing strong technical skills while also nurturing curiosity, imagination, and personal expression. Collaboration is central to my studio environment—students learn from each other through shared ideas, critique, and community-building, fostering a classroom culture where every artist feels valued.

​

My goal is to inspire lifelong engagement with creativity. I integrate art history, contemporary practices, and interdisciplinary connections—such as literacy, science, and mathematics—to deepen students’ thinking and broaden their understanding of visual communication. As a teacher, I am committed to continuous growth, staying current with new methods, technologies, and approaches in art education. Above all, I aim to empower students to become confident, expressive, and culturally aware individuals through the transformative power of art.
