As an artist-educator, I view teaching as a dynamic, relational, and creative practice. I believe that art education should empower students to think critically, take creative risks, and express their unique perspectives with confidence. My classroom is a space of curiosity and experimentation, where students are encouraged to engage with materials, concepts, and contemporary culture in meaningful ways.

​

I strive to create inclusive, student-centered environments that celebrate diversity and foster mutual respect. I am committed to differentiating content and assessment strategies to ensure that all students—regardless of ability or background—can access, enjoy, and grow through the visual arts. Reflection is central to my practice, both as a tool for student learning and as a foundation for my own professional growth.

 

Guided by a belief in lifelong learning, I approach each lesson as an opportunity to nurture both artistic and critical literacies. I aim to connect classroom practice with the wider world, highlighting the relevance of visual art in understanding identity, culture, and society. Ultimately, I hope to inspire students not only to make art, but to see themselves as thoughtful, engaged, and creative individuals capable of shaping their world through visual expression.
