I grew up in an art room. My mother taught art for 25 years, and I have aspired to teach art since I was a child. I feel confident, comfortable, and passionate about art education. For the past three years I have been fortunate to teach art in some unique cultural experiences. For two years I worked with middle & high school students in a Yup’ik Eskimo village in southwest Alaska. Togiak is a sustainable hunting and fishing community, where my students spoke English as a second language. I enjoyed immersing myself in the unique Native culture, while helping my students create permanent works for the school.

I am currently teaching art in Bangkok Thailand. I have expanded my awareness through teaching elementary, middle and high school students from around the world. I enjoy providing creative experiences relevant to my students and the world around them.

I am a hardworking, outgoing, and dedicated teacher. I am interested in an experience where I can use my creativity, enthusiasm and knowledge to challenge my students and myself to achieve greater appreciation and skills in art. I am looking to return to the United States & find a community to call home.
